That might really be a nice and clean solution. Maybe this needs a clarification in the current EWMH spec? (compositing managers _must_ deal with all windows to display them if I understand that correctly, so override-redirect should not only mean "ignore this window" as compositing managers can't ignore them completely, but "don't do anything with them") Denis _______________________________________________ wm-spec-list mailing list wm-spec-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/wm-spec-list
