Hi Ondrej, I think we shouldn´t begin this X11-Wayland „discussion“/fight LINUX-Users are practising for years meanwhile. Most of these pseudomodern Blingbling ist only useless Eyecandy. With themes (Rik?) and a compositor (hopefully stable) we will get with less effort good results. Then

Hi Thomas, I am afraid creating modern, OSX-like desktop would require very different approach than GSDE is taking. Using Wayland, process separation and something like D-bus for IPC for example. What makes GSDE cool is its simplicity. All of its consistency and power comes from the GNUstep
