'click&draw' demo using simple Window wrapper:

var x11 = require('../lib/x11');
var Window = require('./wndwrap');

x11.createClient(function(display) {

    var pts = [];
    new Window(display.client, 0, 0, 700, 500)
        .handle({

            mousemove: function(ev) {
                if (this.pressed)
                {
                    var lastpoly = pts[pts.length - 1];
                    lastpoly.push(ev.x); 
                    lastpoly.push(ev.y);
                    if (lastpoly.length > 3)
                        this.gc.polyLine(lastpoly.slice(-4));
                }
            },

            mousedown: function(ev) {
