Don't know ;) you won't get transpernecy (you will need to use shaped windows), unless you rely on composite managers. separate apps are also heavier than a module - not much of an issue on big fat boxes, but on small lean boxes - old ones or embedded, it's overhead that adds up quickly. > >> To conclude, i just want to know what a "free placement" option is so > >> deprecated ? > >> > >>> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > >>> This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. > >>> Still grepping through log files to find problems?
