The best thing about X11 is the fact that it is networked, you can have a single display (X-server) and several apps (called X-clients) running on different hosts but drawing on your display. Similar to published apps in Citrix, but you need no Citrix, actually not anything besides Xorg itself (all is built-in). The thing you suggest will be lacking this feature. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN AS43859
