Daisuke's stacks sounds cool. I'm only trying to tell you that underlying apps in that stack is not stable enough and frequently updates will be needed in the Common Desktop Infrastructure. > Not being a X programmer at all, my understanding is, that at least the > basic protocols are stable (steady) for quite some years now. Not at all. One major change happened not so long ago (I think 1.0 version was released in 2007) was the migration from Xlib to a new low-level implementation of the X protocol in C, the XCB [0] which provides a foundation for toolkits to build upon. Probably none of the biggest toolkits use XCB. > mmmhhhh ... depending on your perspective, this may show a problem with > X development.
