I intend to make compiz depend on XCB and Xlib/XCB sometime soon so we can start using XCB where it's beneficial [1]. I'm mostly interested in using it for asynchronous reading of window properties but we should eventually try to use it for as much as possible. Removing Xlib completely might not make sense as we need to support multiple implementations of GLX but getting to a stage where it's possible to disable Xlib at build time for those who are interested in that would be neat. If you've got any issues with XCB and Xlib/XCB being added as dependencies please speak up asap. Thanks. [1] http://xcb.freedesktop.org - David

Thanks.Just for curiousity - which distros do actually ship XCB at the moment, at least as some sort of extra/unofficial package? I couldn't find one at the moment for my distro (FC6/F7) and I doubt many people (as in: users of compiz) want to compile XCB and Xlib/XCB manually. Does anyone of you know when XCB will be included in all major distributions? Regards, Danny

We have about 78 open bugs for applications breaking due to XCB, though. Best regards, Wulf -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
