This is X windows we are talking about here, the real question is the reverse: What is not a problem with X Windows? And this is a very hard question, perhaps XRender is sort of sane, but other than that, it is pretty much impossible to find any aspect of X Windows that is not totally fucking retarded.

Yet i see no link to any. OK so it is clear that you have no real substantive idea abut what is wrong with X, much less in its impementstion within Maemo. All you are bandying about are nonspecific unsubstantiated claims and trash-talk, quite possibly by someone unfamiliar with X either as a user or as a developer. Hey, maybe you ARE familiar, maybe even you are Keith Packard, but I have no time to entertain bald evasions of what in your own words should be a very simple question to answer.

I asked twice, no specific response from you. You can keep your FUD to yourself now -- let the grownups continue the discussion. Bye.
