the baic core idea was one of the ways that is perhaps the best,
have shard libraies that can be loaded with a few callback funtions
scattred about liberally.
well i have to say that what ever happens i will be hacking up my own
little windowmamager when a basic one has been created i have some
groovy
ideas.
oh on the imlib front we may be able to get away from that for tyhe time
being, i would atleast like to steer clear of it until 2.0 is realesed
which will basically be a major rewrite. imlib has some fundwemantal
flaws
in that it leaks here there and everywhere - and on our little boxes
we can't afford these memory leaks =)
