Always use CF_UNICODETEXT clipboard format. Windows will automatically down-convert to CF_TEXT for clients which request that. This is subtly different in one way: if CF_TEXT is requested, we now post CF_UNICODETEXT and it is converted to CF_TEXT *in the locale of the requesting process*. Previously, we would convert to CF_TEXT *in our locale* and post that. It looks like the code in the !X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING case didn't actually work correctly, but fortunately that has never been true...
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.
