Rendering the entire X11 primitive set in OpenGL

glRectangle properly is slim to none.
Right... many things to think about.

Hmm - how meta is that ;-)
Seriously, IIRC, GGI allowed something like this. I
distinctly remember seeing a demo with a cube that had
six different WMs on each of its sides. GGI had the
problem of being slow (well, unaccelerated anyway) and
kernel-version dependent, though.
