Agreed. X sucks by design though, being so client-server oriented it's sloooooow, unresponsive, bloated, complex, and annoying. Besides, it has everything 10000 times (a gazillion window managers, a gazillion font servers, a gazillion servers, etc.), making it even more annoying and problematic, because Bub wrote software for Pops' environment but then you're running Marc's, and you end up having to recompile the frigging application if you want it to run decently, after making sure you've got glibthis 2.3.458.5, libcthat 14.69b second release, and homotoolkit build 174891 or higher. Anything besides what's on a good distribution like Suse is bound to be a hell to install, look like crap, mess with fonts and render ugly text, etc.
Admittedly, there's no way Linux can compete with Windows until a completely new GUI is developed - ONE GUI, not Bub's, Marc's, Tony's, and mine, just ONE GUI offering EVERYTHING from the graphic primitives to the desktop (i.e. not a Lego system, but a system), one that works, not like the "almost works" stuff of today.
