(Bloat issue aside for a second) So using the multiapp core, you still have a window stack in main directFB, just containing the main windows, so that the DirectFB window manager can manage them? Or does the use of the multi-app core mandate that apps are their own window manager? Does directfb allow window reparenting which X11 window manager uses to do their job? If the window stack in directFB is mirrored in XDirectFB, and XDirectFB can manipulate and reparent windows, it should be possible to have a pure X11 protocol based window manager? -- -Torgeir -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
