It's not especially well documented. The spec: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/fixesproto/tree/fixesproto.txt says: SetWindowShapeRegion dest: Window destKind: SHAPE_KIND xOff, yOff: INT16 region: Region or None This request sets the specified (by destKind) Shape extension region of the window to region, offset by xOff and yOff. Future changes to region have no effect on the window shape. Which isn't really very clear. But, the ShapeRectangles and ShapeMask requests in the Shape extension specify the None behaviour: the region reverts to the default, ie, unshaped. So the Fixes request _should_ do the same; anything else would just be silly. But, like I said, the server code _does_ handle this: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/xfixes/region.c And I can't see any paths where it would return early for None. - ajax
