I just realized that making glitz work on miniglx is will require 
minimal porting.

Im just a little confused on how the gnustep backend sits in relation 
to cairo and the windowing system. How does the gnustep backend 
interface with X? And how does the window manager interact with 
gnustep?

Right now:

    gnustep -> back -> X

    How are events handled?

My plan is:

    gnustep -> cairo/glitz  -> miniglx/fbdev/dri

How does the window manager fit in?
