Hi there.
First off, for working with windows you can also simply use the
"default" window manager.
The major difference with SaWMan is that "default" has no access
control, so it will simply comply what the apps request, I am guessing
this is enough for your needs. Just use
IDirectFBDisplayLayer::CreateWindow() and use e.g. Raise() to change
z-order.
I am unsure why you are having issues with x11, since that is exactly
what I am using - ubuntu 8.04 AMD64 here. Make sure you use a recent
version like 1.4.x. Are you using the fusion kernel module?

I think SaWMan might be useful, so I started to play with it. I'm
trying to develop this on a x64 Ubuntu machine. relevant lines in my
directfbrc file:
system=x11
session=0
wm=sawman
When I run testman, I see nothing on the screen. Launching any other
df apps do not come up either. If I don't launch testman, and run
df_window, I'll see the app, but the window is transparent and I see
only one of the windows from df_window flashing as if it as focus.
The other window is chopped out, but I can see part of it since it is
translucent and behind the focused window.
Also, I sometimes get Fusion/Init IPC errors after unclean shutdowns -
primarily something about Could not enter world '0'. Is there a way
to fix this aside from rebooting? Once I'm in that state, no df app
that I've tried runs for me. I read back in 2002 there was an
ipc_cleanup script, but it seems to be obsolete now.
Any help/advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
sb
