::::: To be exact, '''is it the intention of this task to prohibit the use of toolkits?''' If so, it ''must'' be stated clearly in the task definition. —[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 15:27, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::: Given how people have been solving this task, I've specialized it to say that toolkits shouldn't be used. This invalidates none of the existing solutions. (I've written one in Tcl which lets me show off a bunch of cool things, given that we don't have a standard lib for this low a level of access.) I still think that a toolkit is the ''right'' way to do this thing in production code, but this task is about doing it the hard way. —[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 23:23, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
== Back on the subject of task specificity ==
I don't care to argue against the task existing as it is, but as specific as its intent is (and looking back on past discussion) I'd like to see one of two things: Either rename the task to [[Window creation/X11 (native)]], and specify clearly that the task is intended to describe working with X11 system objects directly, or fold it back into a more generic task. This task is specific in intent, but not sufficiently clear on what that intent is; if a task creator has to disproportionately step in to moderate examples, then the task isn't clear enough. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 04:41, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
