Anybody willing totake this?
The shape extension is a pretty basic part of X11. I don't think I've seen an X server in over a decade that didn't support it. XFixes makes it a lot simpler to use though and allows clipping lists to be stored on the server as an opaque type, and it's largely unrequired with the composite extension. What does GNUstep use the shape extension for? I don't think I've seen any GNUstep apps with holes in windows, and haven't seen anything in GORM for creating them.
