generally, emacs' awareness of events happens after the event, which happens after the window manager is through munging and/or generating the event. programmability of window manager behavior from elisp is only possible if the window manager (1) is programmable; (2) provides an interface that accepts hints from emacs on how to do its job; and (3) honors those hints. (1) is easy to arrange, (2) less so, (3) even less. in any case it is all very window manager specific unless you are willing to add to emacs the rest of ICCCM (aside from the "Extended Segments in X selections" support which is already in place, iiuc). and even then, to what extent ICCCM is supported by the window manager as well as the (non-)expressiveness of ICCCM to implement the desired behavior, remains uncertain. thi _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
