When will RedHat realize that frontends to X *are not* the long-lasting
answer?? It will be importable, slow... etc. WTH do they insist on utilizing
this monolithic white elephant when they've got GGI to tinker with?
	Personally I believe any display library that uses a proprietary
backend for accel is useless. They're forgetting that not everybody uses X.
Or they don't care about others.
