wow, it's so much news worth of three exclamation marks that it's a FAQ

of course, X and GTK are useless !

yes. It's easy : you just have to fix X to make it support rotated text. Oh,
and it still need to not suck while doing things remotely, even if the
remote terminal is a bit short on the CPU front (as long as it's good enough
for current, non-text-rotating X). While you're at it, you could also fix the
mess with fonts not the same between X and the various printing subsystem.

Thank you very much for your volunteering !
