(Get the code!)
Which is why you need to first start designing how it should work before any programmer touches it. Once that specification is done, then the development work can begin. You cannot just go in and start programming without doing planning. It's like building a house without blueprints.
I know this is not an easy route, but it has to be done. Yes all X applications will have to conform to this once the initial work is done. So will all tool kits. That's a fact and shouldn't stop us from working on this. But to make that easier, drop support for tool kits that are considered legacy. Then you don't have to worry about them. Just get the initial X code base working with it.
But maybe X itself should be stripped down. No X applications, etc. Just the ability to create DE's that run on top of X while using X's ability to do the gui side of things. I can see why google when creating android chose to develop something that replaces X completely.
Bart Massey, may I ask what stopped your class from working on this after 2 and a half months? What was the issue that stopped development?
It took 10 years to get XCB mainstream? You need to come up with better names cuz I had to google it to find out what it was, but anyways. Isn't there deadlines/
