You do know that W was also a windowing project? Just to put my 0.02c
into the mix (Now I actual understand the point :]) I think one good way
to do this would be a "serverless" X-client library - because a lot of X
is not display protocols, but the client server communication. And all
of that is usualy accessed via the client libs. So... a dynamically
bound client lib would allow those of us who need X (because we have two
machine (even two windows machines)) to still get behind and help/throw
peanuts...
