Then maybe the ex11_connection could be hidden behind the
swTopLevel:make(...) call? At least for the most common case. If the
connections aren't shared, then they don't fill any function in the
interface, just add entropy.

The Display can be saved in the top-level's state, and if needed retrieved
from there.

What do you think?
