The (Re)Architecture of the X Window System
Seminar
blah blah blah X Window System blah blah blah. Oh wait, that's not enough detail.
Ok, so we're taking X apart and putting it back together, this talk will showcase what the critical pieces are and how they're working together now.
Nifty stuff like projectively transformed windows running at phenominal speed will be part of a spectacular floor show. Really, it'll be better than it sounds here, especially if I get some sleep before actually writing the paper.
