Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult 0f00dba883 dix: workaround for win32 name clash on CreateWindow()
The problem is, ming32 headers unconditionally define CreateWindow() to
alias CreateWindowA() in winuser.h, which is included by windows.h, which
is included by *a lot* common headers. So it highly depends on the exact
include order, whether it works. (also weird things could happen, e.g.
the Xserver's CreateWindow() ending up renamed to CreateWindowA(), ...)

Until we've found a really clean solution to this problem (which might
involve fixing mingw32 first), just add a little workaround by undef'ing
CreateWindow symbol whereever necessary.

X Server

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.

Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
