That means in near future there will be no GL Support?
afaik, libGL is based on X-forwarding, so there would be a need of  
reimplementing all GL stuff of the X11 for a back-buffer-drawing  
library?

I would like to know how the shared buffer exactly works. It sounds  
very interesting to compose shared FBOs, but how is it exactly done?
