Actually, anti-aliasing is very cheap indeed. Any half decent processor
could cope with it easily. It would just be a question of using images with
alpha channels (PNGs have alpha channels, don't they?). But, I imagine that
there are complications to do with getting the correct colour to blend
against from underneath (since the pixel underneath might belong to another
window, or the root window). Since I don't know any X programming, I don't
know if this is possible. But, if it was, the anti-aliasing would be easy
enough to do.
