It does?  That's not how I thought MIT-SHM worked.  I was under the
impression it shared pixmap contents, not window contents, with the
client - the server must still copy from the pixmap to the window, but
the image at least doesn't have to be serialized over the X connection.

However, MIT-SHM is not a shared-memory transport, which is what I read
the initial query as asking for.
