You mean in the ClientRec in the server? That is the client number.
It ranges from 0 to (MAXCLIENTS - 1).

No. Each client has a separate socket connection to the X-server.
The X-server knows which client the request comes from because it
knows which socket it came from, therefore there is no need for any
client identifcation in the protocol stream itself.
The X-server identifies clients by their sockets.

I sorry, but I don't know anything about the record extension.
The X-Resource extension which I added into CVS will tell this, but of
course, since it's only in CVS it's not widely available on most
peoples systems.
