Greg Davidson is quite right that it would be nice to integrate emacs
with the sun (or other) window system in the manner he described.
While I am not sure exactly what the process server protocol is
intended to do, I do like the idea of having one emacs job controlling
everything very much, and I am often annoyed by not being able to
spawn multiple shells or do a grep concurrent with a compilation.

The notion of having emacs control everything else is similar to the
Apollo Aegis notion of the "display manager", except that it would be
more highly programmable.

In the mean time, I am still going to work on the simple mouse
protocol however since my free time is quite limited and the simpler
protocol can be implemented very quickly.
