the hard part is actually the UI coding. You have to somewhat implement buttons and a layout packer. There must be logic to deal with 1 open window and 20. You also need to keep the window name shown minimal and find some way to deal with a workspace of nothing but rxvts. All of the information required to write this is available in the netwm code. It would just take someone who cared a few days to implement it. You could also look at the fluxbox code for inspiration. Our favorite ROX supporter Matthew pointed out ROX's panel. ROX really is quite small and tidy although I find ROX is designed in such a way to make packaging it more difficult than it need be. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
