Hi,
I'm not that current with the names of all the Linux/Unix window managers,
but I also thought about using one of the available ones (I only heard
about X, VWM and KDE so far, and not enough to make a choice) as a base API
for OpenCard. We'd have to do a Mac port of the manager of our choice on
top of the MacOS APIs, but we'd get pretty cross-compilable sources for the
rest of the app this way, w/o the need to design a window manager ourselves.
Cheers,
