Hi,
Sorry for lack of clarity - I meant of course the other way around - so
that some X-Windows manager would be written to have all the graphical
features of carbon. There are a number of these projects underway, all
of which emulate the look and feel of OS X to some degree.
Also, I would just like to clarify that I am not for one moment
claiming that X11 is better (or worse) than VNC, in any way shape or
form. They are different tools for different purposes and both are
pretty good at what they do. I use both extensively and find both to
have excellent features and shortcomings - but my working practices
would be a lot more complicateed without either one of them :-)
Now, if I could just convince Apple to put a few more buttons on the
iBook and PowerBook mice... ;-)
Best regards,
-->Gar

Who said anything about X-ifying Carbon?! My God, man, the horror! The
sheer UI unpleasantness of X11 is one of the main reasons that, as I
told the original poster, I'll generally pick an Aqua application over
an X11 one if it's available. The only exception is, as pointed out,
those times I have to run something on the monster SGI in the server
room. I'd much rather see Apple put the effort into re-supporting
NXHosting, which allowed Aqua to do the sort of per-app multiple-machine
goodness that X11 does, back in the NeXT days.
