+Applications that would like to take advantage of the Low Bandwidth
+extension to X (LBX) must make their connections to an lbxproxy.
+These applications need to know nothing about LBX, they simply connect
+to the lbxproxy as if were a regular server.  The lbxproxy accepts
+client connections, multiplexes them over a single connection to the X
+server, and performs various optimizations on the X protocol to make
+it faster over low bandwidth and/or high latency connections.
+
+With regard to authentication/authorization, lbxproxy simply passes
+along to the server the credentials presented by the client.  Since X
+clients will connect to lbxproxy, it is important that the user's
+.Xauthority file contain entries with valid keys associated with the
+network ID of the proxy.  lbxproxy does not get involved with how
+these entries are added to the .Xauthority file.  The user is
+responsible for setting it up.
