1) What are you going to use for your gui on this window manager? AWT
is not thread safe, so you ultimately have to have all your events
handled by one thread. Yes, you can distribute the work out to multiple
threads, but the benefits of this are dubious.

3) I've done a fair bit of Java3D coding (the company I work for makes
graphics libraries in Java & c++). Unless you've got good hardware
acceleration (i.e. not simply MMX or K6 3D), everything gets done in
software. Speed sucks. Now, if you've got good hardware acceleration,
then performance is quite good. But it seems like you want to use java
to reach more machines. Listen--just code it natively, and use one of
the various gaming libraries out there. You'll do far better doing it
this way.

4) I think you can probably find one of these on one of the various
java books out there. It seems like I've seen one or two, now that I
think about it. With the new drag-and-drop stuff, these can be quite
nice. However, this one is "been there, done that, what's next?"

5) Why 3D? What do you want done in 3D? Why don't you just replace
the gif in XDM with some cool 3D gif that you whip up in gimp? Quite
frankly, I don't see the value added by a 3D login prompt, either in
beauty or in functionality.

Java is not nearly so slow as many of its pundits would have you believe
(at least, not with TowerJ or a good JIT). However, it quite simply is
*not* MAXIMUM POWER!SPEED! And quit yelling, for God's sake.
At least you got the 3D graphics thing right. While Java3D is not near
being complete yet, it's got a pretty darn good design.
Oh, and get off the Microsoft gravy train. Stop using hotmail.
Remember, this is a Linux newsgroup, and we Linux users don't much like
Microsoft. Try iname if you want a decent web-based e-mail (and when
you get a real e-mail address, they'll forward the mail to your new
place for free, for life, whilst also filtering out spam).
