 * This has a major drawback: it is only designed for X servers, no easy
 * porting to non X-server based platform is offered right now, this is done
 * in order to get a first version out of the door.
 *
 * Later versions should consider how to do this with more platform 
 * independence, this will probably involve changing the Painter class too.
