> I'm doing some IPC stuff in plain X

X you mean X.org?! I don't understand here, but it's because I'm not a graphic guy and I've never understand X.org (if you are effectively speaking about it).

Can you provide more explanations and/or some example code please? I'd be really glad to understand.

+1, for the silently mainly. But don't get too frustrated, it will make you have heartburns and this is not good :-D, or yes get frustrated, but at least know you're not alone thinking this kind of thing

Yes, X.org.

All the drawing is handled externally by... a drawing server which processes drawing requests from Arc. But it's not even in alpha state so I'm not releasing it yet. Also because I'm thinking in trashing it and start from scratch using opengl instead of xdraw and change the way it communicates with Arc.

But I'm too busy at the moment, it will have to be in my next holidays (roughly 4 or 5 months).

Ok thanks for the info. Will `man xdraw'. Client/server is such and old and great idea :-)
