jackdaniel: Are you there? I have a question w.r.t. xrender... Do we already store a picture representing the entire window? The font renderer (both of them, afaik) allocates its own, which is a bit of a waste.

jackdaniel: I was checking how the render backend handles complex shapes, and it uses the PATHS library (part of cl-vectors). I didn' tknow about this library.

It implements the necessary code to break paths and polygons into simples shapes, which is what is needed for xrender as well. I've already gotten the basic line drawing working with xrender, so now I'm looking into leveraing PATHS in the same wasy as the render backend.

instead of copying code over maybe it is possible to reuse render methods? or refactor them into reusable components?

jackdaniel: I believe #742 can be closed now; also, #699 needs only a technical writeup and a normalization of the standard width/height values for all panes. Would you like me to put a diff as a comment?

I have a basic demonstration of immediate mode gui implemented with clim-basic primitives, I think I'll write a blog post about it when it grows to something useful

(only button interaction is implemented, also plenty of priting to the repl which starts the application)
