I see. I just skimmed an xcb tutorial and it isn't all that 
different than xlib so maybe I'll spend a weekend on it at some 
point and make it work in D.

There's a few things we can do to make the async stuff pretty 
too, thanks to delegates and the sort.

And perhaps I can add a concept of a sprite to simplediplay. This 
represents an XPixmap - distinct from an XImage in that it is on 
the server - or on Windows, we can probably just us an HBITMAP. 
These wouldn't offer direct pixel manipulation like 
simplediplay's current Image (which is an XImage and HBITMAP in 
implementation) but would be able to avoid transferring a lot of 
data to the X server.

And lastly (optionally, like with terminal.d) tie it into my 
generic eventloop.d. Then we'll really be cooking with gas! It'll 
have to wait a while though, hacking on this stuff doesn't make 
my house payments :(
