Hi all,

Suppose we would want to use clutter as if it was some new kind of X-server.
How far are we from making it possible ?

Conceptually, we want to have the legacy clutter_main() run in a server process, and have several application-client processes doing clutter calls asynchronously. The clutter calls would have to be re-implemented on the client side to send some RPC requests instead. And clutter_main() would be re-implemented on the client side to mostly listen to signals and call the application callbacks (sorry: closures). On the server-side, a dispatch thread would be responsible for calling the legacy clutter calls.

1. Is this in clutter's roadmap ?
2. Can we be pointed to some utility that would transparently distribute glib calls into a client-server architecture with IPC calls ? We thought of rpcgen, but we wish we would have something that generates rpcgen IDL from the clutter headers. 3. Are there some CORBA-like layers for glibmm to do the client-server-ization at the C++ level ?

Thanks,

Michael
