An X server connection is *much* more stateful than an HTTP one. It persists throughout the entire use session of the application, for one thing, and there is heaps of state being kept on both sides of the connection. There's also a very high communication bandwidth between them. There's really no comparison. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
