This is an ABI break, in that we now pass NULL to a function that hasn't accepted it before. Alex Goins had a different patch for this but it wasn't symmetrical, it freed something in a very different place than it allocated it, this attempts to retain symmetry in the releasing of the backing bo. v2: use a new toplevel API, though it still passes NULL to something that wasn't expecting it. v3: pass -1 instead of 0.

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.
