+Xrestop uses the X-Resource extension to provide 'top' like statistics
+of each connected X11 client's server side resource usage. It is
+intended as a developer tool to aid more efficient server resource
+usage and debug server side leakage.
+
+It should work with any server supporting the X-Resource extension,
+including the freedesktop.org server and XFree86 4.3+.
+
+"xdpyinfo | grep Resource" should tell you if your server supports
+this extension.
