The same thing happened with mine (although I do mine with export PROMPT_COMMAND rather than embedding them in the prompt itself), but I wasn't going to say anything. :) As for the now-superfluous root window taskbar tab, I'm sure it will be moved into the system tray soon enough, once the debugging phase is over.

Re: New multiwindow mode is great
John, You might find it interesting that upon closer inspection the multi-window mode is dependent upon the message procedure in the normal mode for handling keyboard input, etc. I am not sure if we can create the root window and have it process messages without being displayed. In any case, it may take a little bit of engineering to compartmenalize the functionality in the root window message procedure so that it can be used in fullscreen and multiwindow modes. Just thought I would share that... hiding the root window may not be trivial.

New multiwindow mode is great
Wow great job , keep up the good work !! Questions: I noticed that the XWin root window is also showing up In multiwindow mode we don't need the Xwin root window. Hopefully as time progresses you will work out all these nitty Gritty details. The root window has to be gotten rid of or hidden like in Setting it as a hidden microsoft window BG. Also of course my bash ansi terminal sequence which was in My prompt doesn't work.. Because there is no window manager support Yet. I tried to send an imbedded word doc with some screen shots to illustrate my comments, but it didn't make it thru Your email system...
Re: New multiwindow mode is great
I don't have any root window up, it is minimized. You are right that it is not needed at all actually. Invoke XWin with a startxwin.bat batch file with start XWin -multiwindow run rxvt -sl 1000 -e bash -l this will insure your bash prompt wil appear if it is in .bashrc. You can also add stuff like -fg black -bg white -fm 9x16bold --scrollstyle next -sr to the rxvt line to make it look nicer.

RE: New multiwindow mode is great
Come on... Kensuke knows that the root window is not needed. He has said before that it is just there for debugging.
