[relug] ci vogliono cambiare X

XFree86 dust-up questions X11 model

"I've been working in the Windows world for years now, and client-server
display systems are utterly irrelevant to the majority of real-world
computer users. X needs to be replaced by a direct-rendered model, on
which a backwards-compatible X server can be reasonably trivially
implemented".

X11 offers the flexibility of running your application over the network,
but that power comes at the cost of speed and flexibility for most
users, who don't need that capability.

"The idea of being able to remote individual windows isn't relevent to
the vast majority of desktop users," explained Wexelblat. "So the
paradigm really needs to be inverted - direct-rendered desktop, with
remotability."

Spero solo che rispettino alcune cose, mi dispiacerebbe un giorno
di non poter piu' avere la possibilita' di fare un export wm.
