    Description

      It would be possible to create a QNativeImage class and a QPainter::drawNativeImage() function. Or perhaps just
      subclass QImage and use the normal QPainter.drawImage. On most platforms
      the QNativeImage would just be the same as a QImage with RGB32, but on
      X11 could be a QImage created from a shared memory object allowing X to
      see the data without a copy. These are not images mapped into video
      memory, but are mapped into X memory on X11.
