Well, it isnt an absolute requirement, but it certianly is a significant convienience. I mantian some computer systems for some people, if I wished to use the Xserver to provide an X application for people to use, I know that if I told many people that they first had to maxamise a certian window and then find the application in that window, many users would be perplexed and complain loudly. For me a root mode is very useful, I like using my X Window Manager and X Desktop in a seperate window. Some users I maintian for though would be perplexed by this if I decided to provide X programs for them to use.
This feature would be important to me for that convenience aspect, I know apps probably wouldnt work better in a rootless mode. >> While, it might be nice to allow Windows to be the >> Window Manager and that >> it might be convenient, it is not a requirement >> for many people's regular >> and daily use of the Xserver. >> Would it be cool?
