Description: Low Bandwidth X (LBX) proxy server
 Applications that would like to take advantage of the Low Bandwidth
extension
 to X (LBX) must make their connections to an lbxproxy.  These
applications
 need know nothing about LBX, they simply connect to the lbxproxy as if
were a
 regular X server.  The lbxproxy accepts client connections, multiplexes
them
 over a single connection to the X server, and performs various
optimizations
 on the X protocol to make it faster over low bandwidth and/or high
latency
 connections.
