:) I know you did ;)

it does not need a c-interpreter, but I have the source and would like
to get it running under mint, so it would be ok to do so

I had originally though about use GFA to build such an app, just to
get something up and running, might still be worth it..

on the visualisation front, it would be useful if XaAES can use
specific gradient/texture config for specific windows, or employ
signal/protocol to set textures of specific window (not an absolute
requirement, but useful, if somewhat resource hungry)

It should also signal to XaAES to reload (or load new) gradient config
(or something similar like load specific config). this sort of system
should be able to be called via protocol, even if it sits on top of
another (like AV or Olga, etc)
