I guess we all actually agree on skipping the *taskbar*, the question was about pagers. They're distinct hints - so the nature of one does hardly imply the nature of the other. No idea how widely pagers are used, but it would hide eg. the gimp docks and we do not enforce them to be on the VD of the image editor (we would not even if they were transient...), ie. they'd loose their representation in the pager (and you don't know they're over there) - Thomas ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
