This is more or less the message I was trying to impart. We can't easily
get there from how we are currently designed.

Maybe trying to support every and any API is the real problem. I don't
exactly thing that building to the XLib would be the best thing though.
For example Gnome and KDE both have extensive DnD and Corba and Themes
built into the widget set which we would have to reinvent if we coded
directly to the XLib.

No I think my advice would be to pick one API and stick withit, period.
