On top of this two function, I did try to add some new api on directfb.h
( my version ) e.g. IDirectFBWindow_Maximize ..
I think this is not a good way to handle it .... and I'm thinking maybe
extending unique for doing the same thing, but then I need to import
unique in gdkdfb in order to make that work...
either way we need extra api for it to work, which is the direction you
are expecting?

:) yeah me too!! I think Mike get a point is moving people toward one
direction one step at a time, in order for people to start building
directfb way, we need more user. And having a min set of application
that allow some normal daily operation will able to make a distribution
to live e.g. email, broswer, im and term
with gdkdfb I move some gtk application to directfb very quickly, even
it is not the best solution, but at time when people used to not having
X protocol for simple light and small desktop system, I think more
application will be automagically moving toward LiTE and directfb native
porting.

One extra question, for mouse motion..since X and Y is seperated... my
window moving become ZigZag down the line. Is there any way to fix that?
