A comment on The Broadway Windowing System.

I remember when Alex Larsson announced this as a POC. I tried it out, it was pretty neat and worked well. I was always sad it kind of languished or didn't get any attention after that.

So I'm curious, is it back with a vengeance? Are people working on this?

I'd be interested to know this too but I'm not hopeful. I imagine it's up here because it was mentioned in the discussion on the New renderers for GTK[0] post a couple of days ago.
