yeah, well, this is irrelevant for the discussion at hand.  

I assume GGI is designed to be adapted to any frame buffer device (and
as far as I can tell, it is far smarter to use ggi over a frame buffer
than having gdk do all the work that is already done there).

My point was not that, I did not manage to explain myself.  

My point is that we need some sort of basic/simplistic windowing
system library/server.

Best wishes,
