+<refsect1><title>Description</title>
+<para>
+The composite extension provides several related mechanisms:
+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Per-hierarchy storage</term>
+ <listitem><para>
+ The rendering of an entire hierarchy of windows
+ is redirected to off-screen storage. The pixels of that hierarchy
+ are available whenever it is viewable. Storage is automatically
+ reallocated when the top level window changes size. Contents beyond
+ the geometry of the top window are not preserved.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Automatic shadow update</term>
+ <listitem><para>
+ When a hierarchy is rendered off-screen,
+ the X server provides an automatic mechanism for presenting those
+ contents within the parent window. The implementation is free to
+ make this update lag behind actual rendering operations by an
+ unspecified amount of time. This automatic update mechanism may
+ be disabled so that the parent window contents can be completely
+ determined by an external application.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Composite Overlay Window</term>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Version 0.3 of the protocol adds the Composite Overlay Window, which
+ provides compositing managers with a surface on which to draw without
+ interference. This window is always above normal windows and is always
+ below the screen saver window. It is an InputOutput window whose width
+ and height are the screen dimensions. Its visual is the root visual
+ and its border width is zero. Attempts to redirect it using the
+ composite extension are ignored. This window does not appear in the
+ reply of the QueryTree request. It is also an override redirect window.
+ These last two features make it invisible to window managers and other
+ X11 clients. The only way to access the XID of this window is via the
+ CompositeGetOverlayWindow request. Initially, the Composite Overlay
+ Window is unmapped.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ </variablelist>
+</para>
+<para>
+Per-hierarchy storage may be created for individual windows or for all
+children of a window. Manual shadow update may be selected by only a single
+application for each window; manual update may also be selected on a
+per-window basis or for each child of a window. Detecting when to update
+may be done with the Damage extension.
+</para>
+<para>
+The off-screen storage includes the window contents, its borders and the
+contents of all descendants.

+ version of the extension is supported, otherwise a zero Status is returned.
+ If the extension is supported, the major and minor version numbers are
+ returned to indicate the level of Composite Extension support.
+ No other XComposite functions (except XCompositeQueryExtension) may be
