Tha absurd thing is that someone in the past once said:

"Programming X-Windows is like trying to find the square
root of pi using roman numerals. "

When _that_ has suddenly become the more elegant system, then something
somewhere else has gone horribly, horribly wrong. (I quite like Xlib
to be honest, it's trivial to write a C++ wrapper around it that is
wonderfully easy and natural to use. Not particularly useful for real
world programs but fine for simple monitors (e.g. xload) or graphics
demos.)
