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.
