I think that one was libWMCore, the project was suspended and may be
I won't have time to finish it. Rather for being attached to a
particular app,
it was designed to be a part of a display system called 'Shadow' which
was designed to be the core of a planned desktop environment.
Its design would allow passing PS ops/ns events/basic multimedia/etc
over network
and can goes into off-line mode if the client was terminated, then
allow new client to
bring back the session w/o actually terminate all running apps on the
server side.
All those projects was suspended. May be after finishing this 3D
framework
and modeler I'm working on or whenever I think that we already have
enough
serious apps, I'll look back at building a desktop environment again.
