The X we all knew is dying, and it's being killed by its developers. As their latest onslaught, the Xorg dickheads have removed SaveUnders from X. Expect flicker when dragging tabs or moving windows under Ion and a new and rusy X. They want you to implement and use a heavy memory, cpu, and battery-hungry composite manager instead... and do not provide a generic one worth shit. They do not follow the original design of X and extend it; they gradually replace everything with crap and remove the old ways of doing things. Soon on their list will be core the good old fonts, as they want you to use their blur-fascist fantasies. It's impossible to keep up with the shit that the FOSScracy throws at you, unless you're one of the big corporate-sponsored projects that is already part of the FOSScracy. The lamers even banned me from posting on the list. Censorship, silencing the critique. Sure sing of an incompetent tyranny. It was a good time to switch to Windows. X as we knew it will soon no longer be. Something to laugh at: On the same tread, the fuckwits discuss how they need some way to identify displays for DPI settings etc... after they removed simple display identification by switching from the good old X multihead o Xinerama/Xrandr crap. -- In 1995, Linux was almost a bicycle; an alternative way of live to the Windows petrol beasts that had to be taken to the dealer for service. By 2008, Linux has bloated into a gas-guzzler, and the cycle paths have been replaced with polluted motorways.
