I disagree.  I don't need a clock or eyes that follow my cursor.  Most of the
applications I use that really require a GUI don't run on UNIX, anyway, but
perhaps there are things out there that I haven't yet discovered (for X).

I doubt it.  It is virtually guaranteed to be a bug in the MicroImages
application.  As I'm sure you're aware, the X protocol is not designed in a way
that would allow a remote client to fault a server.

Perhaps, but all the applications I have that require a GUI are Windows-only, as
I've said.

I don't know.
