First Xouvert Milestone Released

Posted by timothy on from the will-it-rock-your-world dept.

An anonymous reader writes " The first milestone of xouvert, the X-server replacement has been released. Xouvert includes MAS giving the X server its very own sound server. Nice. :) Also, just noticed that enlightenment quietly released an update to the 0.16 series. " (Here's a link to the Xouvert download page.)

  1. Kombine and Konquer, with XouverK by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Now that you are replacing X, I think its time to freeze over toolkit hell. Hardcode in QT into the server, make it ultra fast and remove the legacy apps such as Xterm, Xeyes and replace them with kdebase, then replace the T with a K to symbolize the intergration with X, Open, and KDE.

    Then, port the legacy apps such as Gimp, Evoloution, OpenOffice to the new API. Then, we can finally realise the linux desktop dream.

    I realise I'm going to get flamed by GTK fanboys, but at the end of the day, QT has the decent file dialog, the speed and the flexiblility that GTK hasn't.
