I'm more worried about driving X-protocol over long connections.

Well, I have now a project with c++ and I'm otherwise turning
in programming into it.

And I have thinked project to design/implement a general
game constructing environment. A client/server model environment,
where are no fixed game into it. There are created new game/world
into server at current site. And it's possible to connect by client,
that stays unmodified, to server, join the game/quest.

The offered resources by environment are quite same like in
CrossFire now. There are "character" graphics by pixmaps, and
client shows same like 11x11 area and maybe other things like
lists.

New monsters/items are created by inherinting them from
c++-baseclasses, and creating instance data into maps.

The implementation guidelines are c++ and X11R6 and maybe ORB.
X11R6 is for, it offers Fresco, a c++ interface (Xt-level). And
ORB (Object Request Broker) is a object distribution method
(defines objects general interface), that fresco uses.
