Let's see if I get it:
Gnome -> gtk -> gdk-for-x -> Xlib -> xserver -> framebuffer
KDE -> Qt-for-x -> Xlib -> xserver -> framebuffer
Now put NanoGUI in:
Gnome -> gtk -> gdk-for-nano -> NanoGUI -> NanoX -> framebuffer
KDE -> Qt-for-nano -> NanoGUI -> NanoX -> framebuffer
Is that right? Does NanoGUI replace the Xlib layer, and NanoX replace the
xserver layer?
Regards,
Brad
