If I understand you correctly, you are planning nanoX like this.
nano server <-> nano API <-> GDK to NanoLib <-> GTK+ <-> all GTK apps
My proposal would be:
nano server <-> nano API looking like GDK <-> GTK+ <-> all GTK apps
and additionally:
nano server <-> nano API looking like GDK <-> my toolkit <-> other apps
or:
nano server <-> nano API looking like GDK <-> ported apps from Xlib
okay ?
