Hmm, this reminds me of a question I've been meaning to ask. E17 doesn't flag it's background window as the virtual root; is there a reason for this? I was thinking about xroach and xpenguins and the xscreensaver modules and all the other fun little things which can run in the root window. XPenguins has of course been ported, but it seems to me to be somewhat wasteful to require them all to be remade as modules in order to work with E17, and of course a non-coder or a busy coder who fancied some obscure old root-window hack would be stuck without it. (I know I usually think of such hacks when I'm swamped with stuff, I guess I'm looking for light relief.) Then too there are file managers with desktop icon facilities, and other useful things - efm may be progressing well but tying ones choice of file manager to ones choice of window manager doesn't seem quite right to me. -- Ethan Grammatikidis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
