22x2x has a long history. It was born in the times when life was hard, window
23managers were simple and displays were rectangle. Several implicit assumptions
24survived during the x2x lifetime, and now need reconsideration. As x2x is simple
25(however, it has accumulated inner knowledge of X11 implementations), we are
26looking for brave person who can read and understand whole x2x and will write
27new x2x, adapted to the modern life of dynamically attached and detached
28displays, complex data transferring through the X selections and Xinerama.
