It does seem to only make sense.

I guess my point is that GGI provides graphics. The people at Troll Tech were
able to create a graphical system (QT Embedded) from scratch. With GGI
the same should be quite doable. If QT or GTK were
implemented GGI would be raining applications. I've looked at the QT source
code. There are only like ten files that mention X-windows and they are all
well documented. I don't see why GGIs goals can't evolve and the developer
base along with it. Grow. I think this could be the most fun thing in the
world. I also think Berlin could use a lot of the software that came out of
the endeavor. (By the way Berlin really does have a cool icon.)
