Someone with too much time on their hands. xsnow is a good example of what 
Wayland is trying to eliminate. With X you can know way too much about 
stuff that really isn't your business if you don't think independent

As I've said I don't have to maintain Motif code anymore so it doesn't 
make much difference to me.
