-== Python / GTK Client ==
-The main supported client is written in Python + gtk, and supports three rendering modes:
-* {{{PixmapBacking}}} - a standard pixmap based backing, gtk2 only.
-* {{{CairoBacking}}} - uses cairo surfaces for backing, required for gtk3 support.
-* {{{GLPixmapBacking}}} - uses {{{OpenGL}}} for backing, allows us to speedup rendering by using {{{OpenGL}}} for the colourspace conversion step needed with x264 and vpx [/wiki/Encodings encodings].
-
+== Python / GTK Clients ==
+The GTK clients support some of these rendering implementations:
+* [/browser/xpra/trunk/src/xpra/client/gtk2/pixmap_backing.py PixmapBacking] - a standard gdk pixmap based backing, GTK2 only. Used as fallback when {{{OpenGL}}} is not available.
+* {{{CairoBacking}}} - uses cairo surfaces for backing, required for GTK3 support. Can be used with GTK2 (rarely tested)
+* {{{GLPixmapBacking}}} - uses {{{OpenGL}}} for backing, allows us to speedup rendering by using {{{OpenGL}}} for the [/wiki/CSC colourspace conversion step] needed with x264 and vpx [/wiki/Encodings encodings].
+[[BR]]
 As of v0.11.x, the {{{OpenGL}}} backend should be used for most non-transient windows.

-== Android Client ==
-The (unsupported) Android client has the same limitations as the Java client with which it shares most of the code.
