Really? Thanks for the insight. Are you willing to sacrifice 20 hours per week to work on it? No?
In case you didn't notice, rootless mode has been on the To-Do list for over a year. It is simply difficult and large in scope, thus no one is working on it. In fact, there isn't really any work going on in Cygwin/XFree86 on a daily basis, so rootless mode isn't going to get done anytime soon unless you are volunteering. Also, a question for you: What do I gain from sacrificing my time to implement a rootless mode? A rising stock price? A raise in my salary? Worldwide fame? A recommendation for a job? Nope --- I get none of that, I only loose my free time, so any time I spend on Cygwin/XFree86 had damn well better be worth it to me, because I'm the only one that can give me something for me efforts (which is simply giving myself satisfaction that I accomplished something, which I already have plenty of). Feeling fiesty? Why don't you suggest that we translate X graphics calls to GDI graphics calls next --- then I can once again point you to the To-Do list and to some work in progress. Sheesh.
