Do they involve gutting rootless and using kdrive perchance? I'm only half joking...
No, but I *swore* I mentioned the analogous 100% serious suggestion from the X.org folks that we gut rootless and use xcomposite. (I don't know that kdrive solves the problem that we're trying to solve here.)
I took a quick look at Composite. It looks like it was designed to work inside a window manager. I'm not sure that makes sense in our environment. We could make quartz-wm also in charge of the Mac windows via Composite, but that might leave other window managers out in the cold. One alternative might be to use the Composite code paths in the server, without using the Composite extension directly. -- Greg Parker gparker@apple.com Runtime Wrangler
