Title: Double Buffer Extension Protocol
Author: Ian Elliott and David P. Wiggins
Abstract: The Double Buffer Extension (DBE) is an extension to the X
 protocol that provides a standard way to utilize double-buffering within
 the X Window System.  Double-buffering uses two buffers, called front and
 back, which hold images.  The front buffer is visible to the user; the
 back buffer is not.  Successive frames of an animation are rendered into
 the back buffer while the previously rendered frame is displayed on the
 front buffer.  The result is a flicker-free animation.
