gdk_draw_segments & gdk_draw_lines question ...

["Andrew P. Lentvorski" <andrewl deliverator io com>]

I noticed in trying to track down a bug in a program of mine that
gdk_draw_segments and gdk_draw_lines accept an unlimited number of
segments/points.  However, the XDrawSegments and XDrawLines calls
have a server dependent limitation in the documentation that I have
(XLib Reference Manual -- Volume 2 -- O'Reilly -- Third Edition).

Has this changed in X11R5.4 or something?  Or are the limitations
still there and nobody has tripped over them? (I find this hard to
believe)  Should I create a set of Gdk patches to cover this case
or should it just be left up to the client?

Advice from the Gtk cognoscenti would be appreciated ...
