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.
<http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/xserver.git;a=shortlog;h=xquartz-composite>
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,
