I remember reading about Nano-X years ago. I'll take another look. For the framebuffer backend, I was considering using DirectFB, which already has the notion of "windows and events". The other idea was using SDL, which I believe also works with Linux Framebuffer. The benefit of SDL is that it will automatically work on other platforms too (eg: OS/2, Haiku, etc... any platform that supports SDL). The downside means one extra requirement, installing SDL, though I think SDL is quite standard nowadays and included in most distros. I'll research the subject more before I write any code.
