Hi!
This is a general question on X client design. Please excuse me that
it is not directly related to the XFree86 Project.
Imagine there are two clients running the same code:
while (!done)
{
XWindowEvent(... | VisibilityChangeMask, &theEvent);
switch (theEvent.type)
{
...
case VisibilityNotify:
XRaiseWindow(...);
break;
}
}
Obviously, there's a race here. Both clients are fighting to get on top.
There's a real example of this problem. One application is called
xbattbar (which is a battery status indicator), another is xlock
(used as screensaver).
What would be the right way to solve this problem?
Thanks for any answers in advance!
