It seems some people love X.  It also seems some people hate X.  I have
an idea:

Before we glorify or slaughter any method of solving this problem, let's
just make a list of available solutions.  Then we can figure out which
one to use.  This list is just that - a list.  Nothing on here should be
scratched off until we get enough (I'd say at least 10 different
possibilities).
The options I know of so far are:

XWindows
VBE (w/wo) AF
DirectX
OD Specific

Any other ideas?

(PS Personally, I'd go for X.  In the times that I've seen it, I have
been vastly more impressed with it than I was with Windows)
(PPS One thing to keep in mind:  The GUI should be INDEPENDANT of the OS
(an extension, unlike Windoze).  Otherwise, you'll end up with conflicts
with the non-GUI programs when you have the GUI loaded)
