I've looked now and it looks pretty "much", at first sight. I don't read lisp very well, so it will take some time to chew it down. Will take another look later on. The biggest problem right now, however, is the availability of the window stack. As it seems (to me) the z-order of the windows' can't be seen outside of the workspace code. I think that is essential knowledge in order to find out which borders are seen or not so I thought I'd dig into that first. While on the topic of the workspace code I'd like to ask Shaleh, or whoever that might have a clue, why there's two linked lists of windows? I was thinking maybe Workspace::getWindow(int) could be changed to return windows from the stacklistning instead, but I suppose I might be overseeing something. Mattias
