I'll bite.  The more serious problems with the current X server have
to do with window management.  Windows don't get raised, we have
problems with spaces, etc.  Why isn't the OS X window manager taking
care of these things for us?  Why are we responsible for so much of
our own window management?

Also, I was poking around at gitweb.freedesktop.org and came across
the xquartz-composite branch.

Did you make any progress on this?  Is it a sensible way to approach
the X server on OS X?  I ask because I was already thinking that this
could be a great way to do an X server on OS X, since the WM is
already basically structured this way.

Cheers,
