DESCRIPTION
       The default allocator for resource identifiers provided by Xlib is very
       simple-minded and does not allow resource identifiers  to  be  re-used.
       If a long-running application reaches the end of the resource id space,
       it will generate an X  protocol	error  and  crash.   Tk	 replaces  the
       default	id  allocator with its own allocator, which allows identifiers
       to be reused.  In order for this to work, Tk_FreeXId must be called  to
       tell  the allocator about resources that have been freed.  Tk automati‐
       cally calls Tk_FreeXId whenever it frees a resource, so if you use pro‐
       cedures	like  Tk_GetFont, Tk_GetGC, and Tk_GetPixmap then you need not
       call Tk_FreeXId.	 However, if  you  allocate  resources	directly  from
       Xlib,  for  example  by	calling	 XCreatePixmap,	 then  you should call
       Tk_FreeXId when you call the corresponding Xlib free procedure, such as
       XFreePixmap.  If you don't call Tk_FreeXId then the resource identifier
       will be lost, which could cause problems if the application  runs  long
       enough to lose all of the available identifiers.
