Hi

Have had trouble getting through to wine-devel at winehq.com, so reposting 
this to see...
Funny, nothing's bounced...

Does anyone have any info on what needs to be done to separate out the

out into x11drv? Presumably even if the separation isn't trivial some

could enable others to give it a try...
