First of all, get rid of the term "X". ;-) There is already an "Y", so the next big thing should be named "Z". Or.. A good acronym would be "pax" - "p" ain't "X". Secondly, if we can get something like a nested X (the cygwin version of X.org is a example), there should be no further problems with those "legacy-apps". It would be a very stupid idea to implement the full bunch of X11 again. I heard some rumors, that even under Plan9, they're using a vnc-client to use "X"-Apps (eg browsers). Maybe that would be a way to go. -- Microsoft is simply one example of a proprietary software developer, a software developer that tries to subjugate users to keep them divided and helpless. -- Richard M.
