x2x has a long history. It was born in the times when life was hard, window managers were simple and displays were rectangle. Several implicit assumptions survived during the x2x lifetime, and now need reconsideration. As x2x is simple (however, it has accumulated inner knowledge of X11 implementations), we are looking for brave person who can read and understand whole x2x and will write new x2x, adapted to the modern life of dynamically attached and detached displays, complex data transferring through the X selections and Xinerama.
