Ummmm, you might want to go look at the latest release of XFree86: transparency -- look at the XRENDER extensions which are already implemented. They implement true compositing primitives. better font rendering -- look at the Xft and how it talks to freetype. It puts font rendering where it belongs, *outside* the X server but with glyph caching and assistance from the server. efficiency -- numbers please?
