nope, X is a window system. it's windows which is *not* window system, but window system with very simplistic toolkit bolted on top of it. that was not a bad idea considering the hardware windows aimed, but now it's a legacy crap, and almost anyone is hacking around it. > Knowing minimal size won't help you if the amount of information simply > doesn't fit. somehow it still works for me. > Dialogs can be scrolled, but master-detail views can't: > master and detail views already reserve scrolling for themselves, so it > can't be reused for the entire window, well, at least it won't work > naturally. i believe that we should stop here, as we are clearly talking about different things. i can't even imagine why widget may want to "reserve scrolling for itself" and what that means. and i can't see why any part of window can't be scrolled, especially when you have a clear widget hierarchy, and detail views living in their own containers.
