Thanks for pointing that out. I just went through the chain of e-mails, but I don't think there was a consensus there. It also seems that the minimize implementation is a little more complex than just hiding surfaces and marking some flags. Which makes me not so comfortable doing an implementation without a consensus about what should be implemented, and with some orientation. That said, I'm not sure I'm really going to take this task. Thank you for your support anyway. -- Rafael Antognolli _______________________________________________ wayland-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel
