X11 Porting Project

[Jasper St. Pierre]

Have you looked at Broadway, either the Netscape plugin from 12 or so years
ago, or the recent GTK+/GDK porting work to move onto canvas? Alexander
Larsson, the author of the recent Broadway project, feels that Wayland is
more appropriate, and is currently working on making Broadway be a
browser-based Wayland compositor.

That might be more appropriate than an X server that uses the browser, but
there's always the NPAPI plugin if you need legacy cruft around!
