- This simply depends on whether the property should be viewed as a list
- of 8-bit values, a list of 16-bit values, or a list of 32-bit values.
- As simple examples, a text property like a window's name is a list of
- 8-bit values and would be stored with format 8; a property like
- WM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS that is a list of X resource IDs is a list of
- 32-bit values and would be stored with format 32.
