Raw X11 rendering context

drawable.getContext('x11') returns a thin wrapper over core X drawing requests (no XRender — no antialiasing, no alpha). Mostly useful for debugging or very simple drawing; prefer the 2d context.

const rc = wnd.getContext('x11');
rc.setForeground(0xff0000);
rc.fillRectangle({ left: 10, top: 10, width: 50, height: 50 });
