Sorry -- I'm not suggesting it's from scratch, but I really want to ensure that by "clean break", I mean an opportunity to not be hindered, and for us to adopt more "current" things such as XCB. I see that as a real benefit. Consistency is another thing I'd like to see. > I have no intention of removing _useful_ features because the code > looks ugly.
