/**
* SECTION:properties
* @Short_description: Functions to manipulate properties on windows
* @Title: Properties and Atoms
*
* Each window under X can have any number of associated
* <firstterm>properties</firstterm> attached to it.
* Properties are arbitrary chunks of data identified by
* <firstterm>atom</firstterm>s. (An <firstterm>atom</firstterm>
* is a numeric index into a string table on the X server. They are used
* to transfer strings efficiently between clients without
* having to transfer the entire string.) A property
* has an associated type, which is also identified
* using an atom.
*
* A property has an associated <firstterm>format</firstterm>,
* an integer describing how many bits are in each unit
* of data inside the property. It must be 8, 16, or 32.
* When data is transferred between the server and client,
* if they are of different endianesses it will be byteswapped
* as necessary according to the format of the property.
* Note that on the client side, properties of format 32
* will be stored with one unit per <emphasis>long</emphasis>,
* even if a long integer has more than 32 bits on the platform.
* (This decision was apparently made for Xlib to maintain
* compatibility with programs that assumed longs were 32
* bits, at the expense of programs that knew better.)
*
* The functions in this section are used to add, remove
* and change properties on windows, to convert atoms
* to and from strings and to manipulate some types of
* data commonly stored in X window properties.
