Is that correct? most wm's dont use virtual roots - so yes. you are correct. this is the case. they are not illegal or not allowed - they are just not common -b ut they allow you to do things that are a lot harder without a virtual root - and to do much more seamlessly - example. scrolling windows is possible to do 100% syncronously with a virtual root. otherwise its not possible. being able to hide and show all windows at once and control a single desktop as a single entity is possible with a virtual root - otherwise it is not. it's just a matter of writing their code correctly to walk window trees correctly. it may not be operas fault - it may also be qt... this i dont know... but its definitely a matter of not walking window trees right. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 熊耳 - 車君 (数田) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tokyo, Japan (東京 日本) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
