Well, to me it sounds like you'd be better of with a window manager like Ion: http://www.modeemi.fi/~tuomov/ion/ It's just a matter of where to solve the problem. I believe it would be better to solve it in the window manager so that each application wouldn't have to :) It gets even worse when you start thinking cross-toolkit too :/ -- Kalle Vahlman, [email protected] Powered by http://movial.fi Interesting stuff at http://sandbox.movial.com See also http://syslog.movial.fi _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
