Indeed it is, yet even that oldest and simplest of 3D-like features is still one of the most troublesome areas for new users (and indeed for some window managers). People still lose smaller windows behind larger ones, or end up typing into the wrong window because another one pops up in front grabbing the focus for some reason, or have issues dragging into partially-obscured windows... if we haven't even properly nailed all those problems after all these years, what chance do we have with the *really* tricky stuff? :P Cheeri, Calum. -- CALUM BENSON, Usability Engineer Sun Microsystems Ireland mailto:calum.benson at sun.com OpenSolaris Desktop Team http://blogs.sun.com/calum +353 1 819 9771 Any opinions are personal and not necessarily those of Sun Microsystems
