Well there is that too. The Gnu folks got this right a long time ago
when they separated glib and gtk.
But that is not really what I mean. What I am saying is that X is way
too big a hammer for the job. DirectFB is much better suited at the
kind of space that Myth is in -- the STB. But that would take QT being
able to run on DirectFB which AFAIK it does not. :-( QT-Embedded (or
whatever it is) is too far in the other direction. It does not have
hardware acceleration (and other video card) suport that DirectFB has.
