Well, one reason is that having two separate types is somewhat simpler to implement, at least in gtk+. If they were one type, logically, the existing enumeration would have to be extended which is an API break (because of things like switch statements without a default). Not impossible to work around of course. Soren _______________________________________________ wm-spec-list mailing list wm-spec-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/wm-spec-list
