The CVE fix in:
commit 97015a07b9
Author: Alan Coopersmith <alan.coopersmith@oracle.com>
Date: Wed Jan 22 22:37:15 2014 -0800
dix: integer overflow in RegionSizeof() [CVE-2014-8092 3/4]
offended the C++ demons:
../../include/regionstr.h:147:45: error: invalid conversion from 'void*' to
'pixman_region16_data_t* {aka pixman_region16_data*}' [-fpermissive]
Normally this isn't a problem, because around here we have the sense and
common decency to not use C++, but this does make tigervnc fail to build,
which is a little rude of us.

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.
