Commercial Software vendor tend to look for pratical
solutions for the
problems at hand (even if sometimes it makes them really overlook some
technical and political point). I would be astonished to see Steinberg
Emagic Digidesign Cakewalk and the others agree on a solution that doesn't
solves this issue. Of course the technical problems posed by the way XWindow
handles it event loop could very well get linux lagging behind which is a
there are no problems with the way X Window handles its event loop:
there is no event loop in X Window anyway. the problems are in how the
*toolkits* event loops work, specifically with what they do with
events on an XWindow that they don't know about.
