They're also covered by windows all the time. I don't think that one could argument that way. I could for example imagine that one screen holds all my nice and useful desktop modules. If I open no window there I've no problems. Don't assume how anybody uses a desktop environment. :-) > it is a dubiously useful feature. patches accepted. This is good to read. In the past I waited for this feature to come back. Now I know that it'll not come back "from alone". My knowledge of the EFL is growing more and more, but I never hacked in E itself. Are there any experienced E developers that like this feature too and will spend work for a solution? regards Andreas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
