For this reason, Display is defined in Xlib.h as: typedef struct _XDisplay Display; and struct _XDisplay is left undefined (although it is defined in Xlibint.h for internal use). This means that the only legal way to refer to this type in a user program is as a pointer to it. If you compile with XLIB_ILLEGAL_ACCESS defined, then struct _XDisplay is defined in Xlib.h. Code that requires this is not portable. David
