Personally, I am very interested in developing a 3D Window Manager for

at the level of OpenGL (and if there are Object Pascal wrappers for
all OpenGL functions) or if there are higher-level tools in Lazarus
that could be used to write a true 3D Window Manager / Desktop
Environment for Linux? Any ideas?
I suggest you take a look at XPde - a fully working window manager and
desktop environment, with accompanied system tools (task manager,
control panel, file manager, calculator, network monitor etc). XPde was
developed in Object Pascal using Kylix. Here are some info and
screenshots [http://xpde.holobit.net/shots.php]. For years I've been
meaning to port this over to Free Pascal and fpGUI.
AFAIR, I've developed x11 part of wm :))) and some other modules like
system viewer :) .... and yes, I have same thoughts about port but no
free time to start that.
