I say, clean it out. Expecially X11R6, I think we all have that release by now :-). The session stuff probably won't hurt but I'm uncertain if it is actually used. I mean, is it only for use with xsm (which I personally avoid but I think it is still a default config in at least XFree86) or is it needed in the Freedesktop spec as well?

I suppose it would help if the list of TwmWindows were kept top-to-bottom (or perhaps bottom-to-top) all the time since it would help with such depth priorities. The potential OpenDesktop and existing Gnome support want to have a list of the windows in stacking order also, so there is already a place where this is determined. Gnome/Freedesktop also have the concept of layers, which keep some classes of windows on top of other classes. It would also be nice for switching workspaces, when mapping and unmapping windows could be done in stacking order to minimize Expose events. But all that seems to be something for later I think. Another thing for later that I'm thinking about (but I have not dared looking at it seriously) is the fact that the coordinate systems when windows have 3D borders and when they have plain ones, are rather different in where they place the origin (the x=0, y=y point) of a window. That irks me. It seems overly complicating. But fixing that no doubt requires attention to a lot of detail. Definitely for later. So, summarizing, I have no current stuff to push or short-term plans for such. > Stefan -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- You author it, and I'll reader it. \X/ rhialto/at/xs4all.nl -- Cetero censeo "authored" delendum esse.
