Hello, I'm a student interested in participating in GSoC 2010 and I
would like to submit an idea for a coding project to X.org. I've already
suggested it on their mailing list but I don't know yet if it is feasible
because of technical difficulties or proprietary source code issues
with Apple.
My project would concern in providing a better Mac OS and X server
integration in some key user-oriented aspects such as:
- Separate every application window in its own dock icon and make it
fully featured, including drag and drop files, exposé, etc.
- Transform X windows into "native" windows, so they accept features
such resize and move using Universal Access and dragging content into
it.
- Provide smoother scrolling via mouse/trackpad.
- Maybe some other nice features :)
This would benefit mostly users of GTK or wine applications like me.
I don't know about X11 implementation. Does someone know if it a
reasonable project?
Any comment will be appreciated.
Regards,
