I'm still horrified by the coupling with each WM or DE that need to reimplement (or use a lib, but that's as interesting as noting that you could reimplement an HTTP server in each high level app by using an HTTP server lib...) all the features of the graphics server.
Are there other examples of systems doing that for their graphic stack, particularly at this level? It feels wrong. It feels almost as wrong as it felt with BeOS depending on the G++ 2.95 ABI for its platform interfaces...
- lrossi 6y agoYou can add client side decorations to the list. It feels wrong because it is.
- cycloptic 6y agoIt's not wrong, it was done on purpose specifically because each DE wanted to have the flexibility from using their own graphics server. In 2021 I don't believe client-side decorations are something anyone can avoid, on any platform.
- account42 6y agoYou can absolutely avoid client side decorations on X11. Anything that cannot provide that is not a functional X11 replacement.
