Separating points of failure sounds like a very good idea to me.
I can't say anything about James' approach and hope our more
knowledgable devs could give their opinion or point out potential
pitfalls. How does "Drafter" fit into Stippi's article about
compositing [1]?
To me it sounds like "Drafter" is a step in the right direction wrt a
modern and powerful "window manager", esp. if one day 3d acceleration
can be bolted into it. Go Duggan! :)
