sounds very good - i think once we have gregs stuff merged with your
tree
i can treult start on the gdk port, i shall also be proting gtk as i go
along. ( i will call them rgdk and rgtk - reduced = r ) i shall also
make
some attempt at building an imlib esque thing so we can have some funky
image file loading and drawing
what we basically need to have done is windoamager suppor t be placed
inito
nano-x even if the calls dont work (ie just the prototypes are there)
it means that the api can be somewhat completely frozen and the tree
tidied
up.
another thing - i think that we should have two different
types of windowmanager.
1) small one that is statically linked into nano-x if nano-x
is built wiothout netowrking,
2) no windowmanager linked in but operating on the client end of things.
but i have to say that i can't wait to hack up a small window manager =)
cheers
