I get the impression that inconsistent feature support between the
various GUI backends is a significant contributor to the bad publicity
we receive in some quarters as to our attitude towards the, if you will,
neglected, operating system ports.  Strictly speaking, all systems
besides X are organized on a "nice to have" basis, but for publicity's
sake they ought to receive these basic display features as well.
