Thanks for the tip (oops, I should have searched first..) :) Anyway, I found the problem and here's a correction. The code is a bit ugly now, so I will probably clean it up as soon as I get some time. Anyway, It works perfectly so far (and passed the "xterm -geom 10x5-0-0 & xterm -geom 10x5-0-0 & xterm -geom 10x5-0-0 &" test). Here goes the patch. I've added a function to test if the proxy window is on screen (don't know if there is one already..). Cheers Renato Caldas
