--- Comment #145 from Bernd Paysan <bernd.pay...@gmx.de> --- I have my free software projects myself, and I understand that you occasionally want to rewrite something from scratch. Usually, when the main features have been bolted on later, and make the whole thing a maintenance nightmare. So you think about the feature set and how to solve that clean and lean. In the discussion about multiple backgrounds in KDE4, I suggested to have two frameless unraisable windows underneath the other windows: root (for the background) and activity on top of root. These windows would be screen-sized, and either you have n of them for n virtual desktops, or one, and it's attached to all virtual desktops. Answer was "well, it doesn't fit into the current framework, but we can think about it next time". Obviously, the people who did the next redesign ignored the last discussion about multiple backgrounds for multiple windows completely. I mean, this is not really something cunningly new, fvwm has FvwmBacker, which also supports per virtual-desktop backgrounds. I don't know since when, but I'm pretty sure it's 20 years or more. This is not a rocket science thing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
