I have no idea if the following is related to this change (I can think of no real correlation except in time), but in the last several days the following happened to me twice: 1. I was watching something with mplayer, full-screen. That uses the EWMH fullscreen feature of being on top when focused. 2. Xscreensaver kicked in, fading out the screen to black. 3. For some reason, when that happens there is always a short hickup in playing. I never checked it in detail but I suspect some window blocks the screen, similar to when (c)twm draws a window outline 3. I moved the mouse to stop the screensaver. 4. The screensaver ended but mplayer didn't continue playing. The window stayed fullscreen and blocked everthing else in the workspace. When switching to the workspace, nothing was (re)drawn so it looked as if I was still in the previous workspace. 5. I moved the fullscreen mplayer window to a different workspace (to get access to the xterm where mplayer was running from) and killed mplayer. 6. Strangely enough, the window did not disappear from the workspace manager, even though its corresponding real window was gone. 7. After a while, apparently while I was writing this email, it turned out that the mini-window was gone anyway. I didn't notice when it happened. The timing of step 3 seems to matter, since 1-3 happen quite often without causing a problem. I also don't remember that it happened before. Maybe this is even an issue in XQueryTree(). The workspace manager quite oftten calls this to update itself. (I had plans to change that, so that it uses the internal OTP list, but never got around to it so far) -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- Wayland: Those who don't understand X \X/ rhialto/at/falu.nl -- are condemned to reinvent it.
