This is meaningless. You can't just count the number of layers and predict ANYTHING.

I have no idea why iLiad can run only those apps. It has nothing to do with X.org.

Please read about the X.org developments and especially kdrive a bit. Every single person complaining about X.org had NFI about kdrive before I pointed to it.

Damn, people associate X.org with behemothic KDE and GNOME nowadays. I hate it.

Please, please.
