The reason that I propose that we run Opie over X instead of X over
Opie is that Qt was written for X in the first place, and there is no
Opie X server that I'm aware of.

But yes, if running Opie over X is not a possibility, then yes, the
base Familiar may just as reasonably have an Opie get-it-online
program as an X get-it-online program.

I notice that everybody thinks that X is too big and/or too slow to
use with Opie. Nobody actually has any numbers.
