Hello David, There are a few spelling errors in the draft FAQ: 5.4: Not only would this involve major rewrites of the widget libraries such as gtk and qt that would also break backwards compatablity with older servers, but one the reasons why X is so good is that it is cross-platform. You can have a series of X clients runing on a bunch of different server boxes like HP-UX, IRIX, Solaris and manange <-- no n between 'a' and 'g' There are some projects, however, that are attempting to do remote widget handling: picogui come <-- add 's' for plural. 7.1: The Xouvert project is currently using the imake build system which is heavily based on using the C Pre-Processor. The Xouvert Project is currently exploreing <-- no 'e' between r and i 7.2: Imake makes heavy use of the C Pre-processor (CPP). The CPP works well for pre-processing C source files, but is not well suited for processing make and compile-time configuration files. There are a number of inherent limitations of the CPP which comprimise the usefulness of the CPP, namely that all CPP directives must start in the first columb <-- I don't think the 'b' should be there.
