Does anyone know if there is a way to _generically_ know that a window is a fake root window? I'm thinking if there is a way that xkill could generically detect this situation it would be a useful addition to that application upsteam when it comes to any WM that provides a fake root. For example, when xkill detects a fake root window it could prompt the user with a "The window you requested to kill appears to be a root window, are you sure you wish to continue?" before sending the death signal. -- _ (\o/) Chad 'v3rt1g0' Kittel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> /_\ Milwaukee, WI (USA) "...staring up at heaven from the bottom of a glass" - Savatage ------------------------------------------------------- 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
