Exactly.  The problem is that GDK is a layer on top of an existing
windowing system.  So you will need to provide this windowing system.

I do want people to work on a frame-buffer port of Gdk (thus making a
port to ggi or whatever very simple), and this port also shares the
need for a very primitive windowing system.

So work on a common thin windowing system would be a good place to
start.
