UPP is trying to use API from the "RENDER" extension, which seems to be not available with all of my X-Servers.

In few minutes ...

I checked the website of X-Win32. They released a new version 8.0, which has a new feature: "The new RENDER extension has been added which provides smooth graphics and text for remote applications that support it.".

So, what I want to say is that some of X-Server extension may be not supported. It is okay.

It would be nice if UPP could negotiate X-Server capabilities before starting to use them.

I guess, you are right. UPP should handle that case, or upp apps are not guaranteed to work properly in a remote session. For native Linux local sessions, Xserver capabilities will always be in sync with the libraries, and the apps won't even launch with ancient versions of X11.
