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)

jackdaniel: I spent some time studiying the path library yesterday. It provides most of what we need up to a point: It provides an outline (or concave polygon) representing the shape (including lines, circles, whatever) that is needed. Thus, I should be able to use this and then implement a standard algorithm for turning a concave polygon to a set of triangles that can be rendered by, well Xrender or anything else that may need it.

It's my intention to write a separate package that encapsulates this, so it can be used by Xrender, and later, by the SDL or OpenGL backends.
