Meaning ? How would you like to see the GUI "handled" ?
Having spent the whole evening fighting X again (I will get direct
rendering to work on my card if it kills me, I know it can do it...)
it certainly could do with some work on it's configurational interface.
But I don't know if that is what you are talking about.
And yes I do see the X Window System surviving several incarnations to
come.
But in 10 years we will all be using Plan9 anyway...
