You have failed to suggest the other alternative: not to use any window
system.

I have been using character terminals for many years, because I don't
think window system gives effecient developping environment. I often
irretated to see someone using window system ineffeciently.

Shared library is NO solution. It only moves complexity, unstability
and ineffeciency of X to UNIX.

With rationally small environment, like mine, shared library is of no
use, which keeps UNIX simple.
