Just a minor precision:  They called it "c_class" and the structures
in question are Visual and XWindowAttributes.  But they are still
depending on CPP conditional inclusion:

  #if defined(__cplusplus)
      int c_class;
  #else
      int class;
  #endif

It looks like they are still using CPP to handle this, even in the 00s
:-)
