so, end of this thread, we hope.
GARSH, Mickey, I had no idea this would happen. You make one simple
comment, and ... ah well.
anyways, a few thoughts on another tangent.
linux nowadays is all about building a windows desktop. BORING. Or a Mac
OSX ripoff desktop. BORING. And just look at all that great vista stuff.
oh boy, I can slant my windows or something. Who the F*** cares?
What if you had a window manager that could be recursive? that would set
it up so you can name windows by a path name? that would let you treat
the recursive desktops -- to any level -- as just another window? that
would trivially allow you to connect mouse clicks in a window to control
actions for one or more other windows (i.e. you could logically group
windows and then control all of them via mouse clicks)? That would maybe
let you easily connect output from a process in one window to another?
that would let you build little widgets that could easily control other
windows? That would let you display all window state in another window?
That would let you set, say, all windows with a browser with the label
abaco-### (### a number), with a simple text command; and let you find
all windows with the label abaco.* with, in the limit, a grep? That
would make it easy to group all windows with the label 'abaco.*' so that
you could say 'hide all abaco' with a simple script?
Wouldn't that be neat? I mean, that's a real bitch in X, right?
Except ... you already have it.
