The UI isn't the issue... You probably don't want/need that kind of complexity, it'd pretty much involve either programming a lot of functions into the x server or having the client upload some code to the X server, both of which are a bad idea (tm,imo). A standard way for the client to set options in the X server would be nice, but I don't know of any such thing... Personally I'd just go with deciding on a decent type of function, and having the api be a simple xlib call that sets the parameters for that function, nothing too complex. -- Frank v Waveren Fingerprint: 0EDB 8787 fvw@[var.cx|dse.nl|stack.nl|chello.nl] ICQ#10074100 09B9 6EF5 6425 B855 Public key: http:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 7179 3036 E136 B85D _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
