Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how best to architect a DFB app, and figured this
mailing list might be useful.

Currently, I have an app that draws to the primary surface and runs in
exclusive mode.  I want to be able to simultaneously run multiple instances
of this app, and have whatever they draw composited together on screen - so
app 1 would render one layer, app 2 would render another, etc.  I would want
to define Z-Order.

Can I use a window manager for this and is it possible for my application to
somehow retrieve a window to draw to that is set up from the window
manager?  I want to avoid having multiple instances of this application
running as threads - I want to keep them separated out as processes writing
to a window.

Does this sound like a basic window manager thing?

Thanks,

sb
