Sometimes we just have to pick an option and go with it.
Why is it that the windowmanagers job description contains "don't let users resize windows bigger than the screen"? I'd argue that the windowmanagers job description should contain "if a user resizes a window, let him do so without restriction on the size". wmaker, twm, sawfish, enlightenment and even kwin allow the user to resize the window as big as they like, I really don't see why blackbox would not want to allow this or why this is considered to be the 'wrong' thing. -Jan -- 'Hrrm, this reminds me of the Microsoft statement "Windows XP is the most reliable version of Windows ever", or as we say in assembly, "nop".' - ali -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
