Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult 984da40fbb doc: document that ScreenRec->DestroyPixmap() shouldn't be called directly
Direct calls to ScreenRec->DestroyPixmap() is fragile and blocks cleaning up
the wrapping jungle, so use the proper dix function instead.

While this function originally wasn't made for that purpose (and so we have an
useless parameter here, and the naming isn't entirely correct), it's the best
effort we have right now, without breaking existing API: it's already exported
since long time, so drivers can be easily converted and still work with both
new and older Xserver ABI versions.

Retrospectively, this already should have been done 20 years ago.

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.
