 Wayland names <em>buffer factory</em> a software procedure that constructs objects of type
-<tt>struct wl_buffer</tt> for use by a client application.
-FLTK creates a \c wl_buffer object each time an Fl_Window is mapped on a display or resized.
-That's done by member function \c Fl_Wayland_Graphics_Driver::create_shm_buffer()
-which follows this 3-step procedure to create a "buffer factory" for FLTK and to construct
-Wayland buffers from it:
+<tt>struct wl_buffer</tt>, that is, Wayland buffers, for use by a client application.
+FLTK creates a \c wl_buffer object each time a non-GL Fl_Window is mapped on a display or resized.
+FLTK triggers the creation of a Wayland buffer as follows:
+<pre>Fl::flush() calls, if the window is damaged:
+  \e Fl_Wayland_Window_Driver::flush() calls, if the window's \c frame_cb is NULL:
+    \e Fl_Wayland_Graphics_Driver::buffer_commit() calls, if the window's \c buffer->wl_buffer is NULL:
+      \e Fl_Wayland_Graphics_Driver::create_shm_buffer() creates a Wayland buffer.</pre>
+Member function \c Fl_Wayland_Graphics_Driver::create_shm_buffer()
+follows this 3-step procedure to create one or more <em>shared memory pools</em> and to
+construct Wayland buffers from them:
 - Libdecor function <tt>libdecor_os_create_anonymous_file(off_t size)</tt> creates an adequate file
 and mmap's it. This file lives in RAM because it is created by function \c memfd_create().
 FLTK sets this file size to 10 MB unless the size of the buffer to be created
 is larger; in that case the anonymous file is sized to twice the buffer size.
 - Wayland function \c wl_shm_create_pool() shares this mmap'ed memory with the
-Wayland compositor and returns an object of type <tt>struct wl_shm_pool</tt> which
-encapsulates this memory. A record of type
