+The wayland protocol is a async object oriented protocol.  All
+requests are method invocations on some object.  The request include
+an object id that uniquely identifies an object on the server.  Each
+object implements an interface and the requests include an opcode that
+identifies which method in the interface to invoke.

+The server sends back events to the client, each event is emitted from
+an object.  Events can be error conditions.  The event includes the
+object id and the event opcode, from which the client can determine
+the type of event.  Events are generated both in repsonse to a request
+(in which case the requet and the event constitutes a round trip) or
+spontanously when the server state changes.

 the get_interface method is called on an object to get an object
 handle that implements the specified interface.
