Hi Jeff

Nice to see you. I do not know anybody running on X11. Esteban is
working on better SDL20 integration.
Did you try having a native window? I asked clement if he could
release the Wizard Battle Arena because it was a game he did in a
couple of days (yes he is good this guy) and that use cairo athens
based for drawing on native window.
