It is our plan, so obviously it must be good. ;-)

I don't think it should be a pipe.  It should make it possible for
applications to map the video buffer into their own memory.  In addition
to that, it could provide a nice RPC drawing interface.

As to who should be able to access it, well, don't we have the file
permission bits for that?

Cheers,
