Both Gtk and X11 are going to break horribly in the next few years and
there is going to be a need for X.org, XFree or someone to actually fix
the standards to allow over 65535 pixels width and height. Otherwise you
are not going to be able to run X11 on your walls or on ultra fine
resolution displays.
