Mine was killed by Cygnus Support cum Cygnus Solutions (now Red Hat)
for no good reason at all.
Briefly, it worked by creating a 2D display list and doing updates
from that automatically.
Initially, you had to create the display list fairly explicitly, but
the medium-term plan was to allow you to create it from FPS-style
drawings.
It worked well enough to do multi-font text display fast enough for
scrolling on hw that is, by today's standards, snail-like.
Man, how I'd like to be able to get back to that.
Then you have to think about how to relate drawings to input - that's
fun.
Widgets are stoopid. ("Don't fidget with widgets -- draw!" is the
right general idea.)
