* The XCB backend is disabled by default during the
configuration. To enable it, add --enable-ecore-x-xcb. See the
messages that configure displays when it finishes.
* The way XCB is detected, and used in src/lib/ecore_x/Makefile.am
should be improved
* Any program that uses ecore_evas does not need to be modified.
Any program that uses ecore_x may need some changes. That is,
adding some functions (_prefetch and _fetch ones). No other
change is needed. See the documention of any _get functions, as
these are the ones that need those functions.
* There are some missing parts, especially everything that involves
the keyboard, as porting Xlib functions related to strings (utf8
stuff, XKeysymToString, etc...) is an horror. So keyboard events
are not working yet.
* I tried to write as much documentation as I could. But there is
certainly some missing doc here and there.
there are certainly other things that I have forgotten.
Improvements of that backend:
* the creation of an ecore_evas is faster. Especially when done over
an ssh connection (on my computer, 7-10s with Xlib, 1.5s with XCB,
over an ssh)
* A Window Manager should be more responsive. But it's not tomorrow
that e17 will use it :)
Have fun !
