Is that even possible? > Cheers any x progam - if they know how to find the window could in theory draw on it - but you'd end up with the same mess/war of drawing you end up on the root window. thisw is why e has modules - to allow extensions in an organised way for things to share the desktop bg. 2 clients drawing to the same window is just a very bad bad bad bad idea. there is no way for them to organise who draws what where and when without creating a big protocol for it, thus e takes the "well screw you - i'm the wm and my policy is that i draw on root and you guys just can go back home and suck eggs!" :) e provides a way to extend to allow the root to be shareed - as i said and that mechanism is modules. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 裸好多 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tokyo, Japan (東京 日本) ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
