I believe (and I could be wrong) that the idea is that the root window would not be removed completely, just changed from a taskbar tab to a system tray icon. Again, I could be totally off base there, and I don't want to put words in any of the devs' mouths. :) > In the current version the root window also covers Windows' task > bar.

Also, hitting Alt-Space, then n, will minimize most windows. -- John # Buttery # Why do CS majors always confuse Christmas and Halloween? www.io.c# Because DEC(25)=OCT(31). om/~john#
