I was thinking of a window manager plugin that applies rotation when the window is activated. Compiz can apply many of its effects selectively according to application (window name?) so I'm guessing wildly that calling an xrandr setting by name on change of active window should be possible. Then again I know nothing abut the internals of window managers... _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
