Something about x11-port
So, I'm started doing that x11-port I asked for some time ago. I have some questions about that, which I would get answer for. So: -Should I make directory structure something like it is with gtk, for example. (like WebKit/x11, WebCore/platform/x11, etc.) -Should I make implementations to platform-shared files with definition PLATFORM(X11) or something like that? Where this is defined anyway? Is it that when I build in Linux with ./autogen.sh and make it builds with PLATFORM set to GTK? How I can set it for building? -Should I make implementations to build-webkit script so it would be easily compiled from that? If so, could you help with that (tell how define it)? I'm asking these because I'm not sure how these things should be done. And it could be possible to some day maybe get this port to official trunk.

How do you want to implement the GraphicsContext with plain xcb/libx11 usage without the usage of Cairo? I didn't think a lot but this idea looks like a step back into the past (limiting yourself to a specific protocol). z.

I meant with x11-port that it renders wanted page to x window given to it, not that it uses different toolkits to render page. So I wasn't meant to replace cairo rendering, I don't even have enough skills for that. Just trying to remove need for gtk (or any other widget toolkits) on Linux.

Is this meant to be a hobby task or do you think that there is an actual need for a purely X11 based port? If it is serious why not put your effort toward creating a plain cairo API (including exposing RenderTheme somehow)? This can be used with X11, directFB, pure images.... z.
