14 This file contains the common boiler-plate for creating a shared

16 get allocated and shut down cleanly.
18 This code currently deals only with shared XImages, not with shared Pixmaps.
19 It also doesn't use "completion events", but so far that doesn't seem to
20 be a problem (and I'm not entirely clear on when they would actually be
