This would probably be better in the fractdev group but I don't want to
join that for just one post!

I was wondering what you thought of the idea of using OpenGL for
xfractint? It is readily compiled under Cygwin even under Vista 64.
Likewise, it is readily compiled under most common Linux distributions.

Quite nicely, there is a solution for palette rotation in OpenGL which
works in both environments (I've seen it work).

Of course the building of the traditional menus might be some work if
they wanted to be kept. But all keystrokes can be captured and fractint
usage would be able to be as it always has been.
