Considering the fact that write locking is only needed when something 
on screen is changed, I think we can safely switch to what Stephan has 
in mind (or you have for the Desktop :-)). I can't really see any 
advantages of the current design in terms of speed, I only see that it 
complicates things unnecessarily.

Also, IMO RootLayer does too much. For example, why does it own the 
Workspaces objects? While RootLayer may need to react on changes made 
to them, I can hardly see a reason why it encapsulates them and hides 
them from others.
Ideally, RootLayer would only care about compositing and clipping, IMO.

Bye,
