This thread should continue under the proper title
since it's been hi-jacked .

I didn't read your entire post. If you know how to
join a pk and fk it's not difficult to build an
effective diagram on paper and reuse the same schema
for other applications.

Ya I watched the videos on microsofts new Mail &
sparkle applications. Mail suprisingly uses a database
backend to manage their files which may helped open
eyes of the ways they could use them in other ares of
the desktop.

For instance, w/ sparkle you could write a simple
program to do what you need as defining tables and
relationships is easy. They also have a 3d engine so
you can emerse yourself in the database and fly around
the tables!

Is it possible to bind vector interfaces to C++ apps
w/ libs like (<a
href="http://www.linuxartist.org/2d.html">ZODIUS</a>)?
I'm not sure how ENLIGHTENMENT runs their engine on
xorg but it's not vector based.

If possible I'd like to know. I don't have the time
now but in the near future I plan to find out. Maybe
someone here already knows?

It would be pretty neat to build desktop packages that
scale and stretch any resolution or device.
