Linux X11 backend?

[Nemirtingas]

Hi,

As I'm developping my game overlay (windows/linux and probably macos if someday I understand how it works), I built a X11 backend. The code is here: https://github.com/Nemirtingas/imgui/tree/Linux_X11_backend

Would it be worth it to add it to Dear ImGui ?

Great effort 👍🏻 Though merging it wont be easy. At very least an example showcasing this backend should exist. But more importantly, we would also like to support docking branch and things get quite complicated there.

Hello,

There is already a x11 native backend PR here #3372
It would be good to compare both and decide where we'd like to go.

I didn't see it as I searched in the issues and not in the pull requests.

My implementation is pure X11, I'm not using Xcb. For what I needed, it works fine. I didn't test it much as I don't go often on Linux to try it. I never triied the Docking branch either.

#3372 seems more advanced than mine.

Hi, its been a while since I worked on this. I decided to create that example in case someone needs a pure X11/OpenGL3, its available here:
