We have *SHINY* things like Compiz since then, a quick look at the latest release RELNOTES.txt shows that in that file you get to see what's changed in that update. Since the release is not a major change or anything, you just see what's been fixed and things like that. http://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R7.3/doc/RELNOTES.txt So to show you that there were lots of work going on around things you mentioned, one had to go back to a much earlier release of that same tree. As you pointed out, it dates back to 2006 but I've not seen anything anywhere which would give the impression that they have stopped any of this work. > while rendering multiple fonts in a toolkit window still dies horribly > under *ALL* toolkits (equal blame to X11 and Gtk/Qt/etc.). > So we should find your email to their mailing list mentioning your problems. Great, and if there are enough others having similar problems there is hope that someone will pick it up and fix it. Oh and the Compiz people are different from the X.org people who are different from the Qt people who are different from the GTK people etc. This is how it works and yes, sometimes standardization can be slow but it is open and the results tend to be for the good of everyone. Or you can go to a locked down and locked up platform like Apple or Microsoft and see how well they listen and react to your bug reports or complaints.
