there is no way any linux distro in the foreseeable future will drop
support for Xlib, that would be ridiculous. If they use Weyland,
there will have to be an X emulation library for it. That's all.
Agreed.
There are too many man-hours invested in applications based on Xlib.
I wouldn't worry about it until libraries like Gtk and Qt have been
ported. But even then, there are hundreds or thousands of apps that
use Xlib directly.
