    Is there any reason as to why X cannot be rewrote to be the standard
    interface to UNIX? If there is please tell me so that I don't bug everyone
    on this list with pointless questions about upgrading the X interface so
    that it accepts PDF protocols for it's rendering capabilities. OR about
    adding a common installation program for easier manipulation of apps based
    upon a standard X format. That all desktops could use for the installation
    of their programs. OR about working on a common interface that allowed
    experienced users the full power of the UNIX api, and could introduce new
    users to an easy to use OS. IS there any reason why this can't be done
    given the abilities of the Open Source community in reference to Gnome/KDE?

    And if you want to know why I wrote to this mailing list it's because YOU
    are the maintainers of the SYSTEM upon which our standard interface will be
    run.
