Well, I specifically mentioned glib because it shouldn't have many dependencies, is highly portable/ported, and I don't think most of your "arguments" apply to it. And I think it the spice-glib code would handle most of hte low-level stuff for you, "just" leaving you some opengl rendering code to build on top of it (though the existing client in spice/client has optional GL support already). If even glib proves too much, then you'll have to start from scratch (spice-protocol + protocol docs) and reimplement things yourself, which will be much more work. Christophe
