But interprocces communication is a kernel feature, so why X11 will
break it ?

The message queue can run in the console, and have no need of graphic
features of X11.

It's just as shared memory, semaphores, signals, .... those are low
level kernel features, and shoud not be broken by any other running
proccess in the system. =20

:(

Will take it out with some #defines then to avoid breaking MacOsX
building.

In the other hand, may be it will never be in a release, but I will
investigate further in the MacOsX ipc capabilities.

This feature can be implemented storing information in a shared memory
segment instead of using message queues.

The shared memory api seems to be the same in Linux and MacOsX.

But I'm not yet sure it's something to be done.

Is this interesting ? or it doesn't deserve the effort.
