Open your mind to ideas that go beyond your simple window-centric paradigm! There is more to graphical user interfaces than windows! In the Mac OS GUI, an application can have a menubar and no windows. Windows come and go as needed, but the menubar stays until the users quits the application. In the Unix/Linux world, there is a graphical application called xkill which has no menus and no windows, all it has is a mouse cursor! No, it does not run in the background: it is a foreground app. An extreme case, but telling. There is no absolute need for any windows at all, let alone for one privileged window to rule all the others. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
