Matthew Allum thinks we're best off not trying to force-fit this into matchbox (the window manager we're currently using), having done the experiment last summer. He's not only the "contractor", but also the original author of matchbox; so I think we should respect his opinion in this matter. We'll investigate alternative window managers, rather than flogging this horse, which is clearly dead for our purposes. Many of the modern ones honor full screen hints, and I've never seen Sugar's UI do much that isn't supported one way or the other by the ICCCM/EWMH's. It may take a bit of sugar work, but I'd be surprised it will be difficult. - Jim -- Jim Gettys One Laptop Per Child _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
