Compile/Start problems.

Hi! I downloaded the latest sources via arch, and compiling works fine, when I remove the keymaps SUBDIR entry in config/Makefile.am. But when I try to start the server, I only get "Y: server exited before starting up". I also removed the keymap settings in the server.conf, but that didnt help. Then, I have a few questions about Y-windows: 1) As I've understand the docs, y-windows reduces the data, sent between the Y Server and the application, by moving the rendering to the server. The application will only tell the server to draw a button or something else at position x,y of widget a. When using the canvas widget, wouldn't that break that technique? 2) I've read the design docs for toolkit compatibility and would like to help porting gtk to be compatible with y-windows. As far as I've found out yet, gtk is based on gdk, though it would be necessary to port gdk to y-windows (using canvas widgets instead of the render-api of x11). Did anyone already start experimenting with this? I know, I have limited knowledge about these things, so don't blame me for writing things, that might be wrong. Just correct me. Thanks. Jens Mittag
