So how was it that you start rootless mode again? Just kidding.
I guess I should have mentioned that I was about to go on vacation for over a week after I sent my last message. My impression of XOpenWin was that it was going to replace the low-level graphic calls from Windows with calls to X. Ambitious, but sounds like a great deal of overhead. This does solve some of the problems you'll run into trying to get Windows to manage X applications, though. I'll have to join the win32-x11 mailing list and see what's happening there. The current direction you're taking is to allow Windows to manage the X windows (please keep this a separate feature from -rootless). I hope somebody's thinking about keeping this compatible with XOpenWin, since there could be some serious benefits to using both together. There are a number of other ways that integration between Windows and X could have been approached, although these are the most straightforward approaches. Both approaches wrap everything of interest, albeit at opposite ends (and the end results look totally different). But right now I'm interested in something much simpler: just removing focus from all windows when X itself loses focus. I've looked at this briefly, but I'd better follow up in another e-mail, rather than causing this thread to fork too much. -Jerry
