I used e16 for about 5 minutes before being so amazed that I just had to upgrade to e17 already so I'm not sure what exactly I'm talking about, but ... e16 has a task manager or something in the bottom left corner that displays the windows and also window contents ... how are those window contents drawn? and couldn't the same mechanism be used for this "expose"? I've used e17 for about a day now and I haven't had a chance to look into all the intricate details of the underlying source code yet but from a pure user perspective it seems to me that the code to do this has already been written and implemented in e16. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
