what do you mean of this?
I tried to make windowmaker use gnustep classes instead of wings and i
tried to make standalone opengl. and i tried to make gnustep-back use
cairo and another time i tried to make gnustep-back use opengl. there
is a problem with managing the window heirarchy, managing the video
memory without a memory allocator and swapping of textures between
system memory and video memory. and also make the windowing system
very responsive in the face of heavy system loads when you are playing
video or compiling code. overlapping window systems are tough!
now im convinced that its better to build a system without overlapping
windows. its a hundred times easier. even from scratch.
