In this commit, we learned about X11 iterators, which iterate through

monstrous things allocated in memory that you just have to "know" are
of a certain structure.  In this case, we used `xcb_screen_next` to
say that we want the first (and all) screens attached to our current
X11 session.  And we used
`xcb_setup_roots_iterator(xcb_get_setup(connection))` to initialize
our iterator to our connection object in local memory.

Other things we've learned along the way: the file description that
represents our connection can be a TCP/IP socket or a Unix Domain
socket (a filesystem socket, named or not), and the only way to know
which is to find if there's a hostname before the colon ':' in the
display name of the server.  Not sure how that's going to work.

Also, found a really good reference: [Basic Graphics Tutorial with
XCB](https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.6/doc/libxcb/tutorial/index.html).
It doesn't cover our specific use-case, but it's worth looking into.

+# XCB
+
+XCB is a library for communicating with the X-Windows system used on
+Linux, FreeBSD, and other Unix-like operating systems. XCB's interface
+is written in C.
+
+- Connecting, Verifying Connection, and Disconnecting the server.
+- 
+
+## Connecting.
+
+X-Windows is a server. It listens for events (keyboard events, mouse
+events, timer events from connected programs, etc.) and "stores" the
+results on a *display*, which is intended to be seen with the human
+eye.  A display is made up of one or more *screens*.  Screens can be
+literal (one of the physical devices in a multi-monitor setup) or
+virtual (a virtualized desktop where the window manager supports
+different "pages" on the same monitor), or even just parts of the same
+physical screen space broken up by some logic.
+
+To connect to X via XCB, you use the `xcb_connect` function.  It takes two
+arguments, a string with the name of the display, and a
+pointer-to-int to the preferred screen.  It returns an opaque data
+structure, 'xcb_connection_t'.
+
+```
+xcb_connection_t* xcbConnection = xcb_connect(const char* display, int* screen);
+```
+
+There are variants for connection-with-authorization, and
+connection-with-file-descriptor.
+
+This function always returns an allocated structure, even on failure.
+You _must_ test for failure with:
+
+```
+int error = xcb_connection_has_error(xcb_connection_t* xcbConnection);
+```
+
+The error is an number defined in `xcb.h`. See that file for the list
+of possible failure modes.
+
+## Disconnecting
+
+You _must_ close the connection when you are finished.  In the event
+of a connection failure, you _must_ still call this function to
+free the memory XCB used to report the connection failure:
+
+```
+void xcb_disconnect(xcb_connection_t* xcbConnection);
+```
+
