Re: So what's the XP Region Manager for?

[Michael Kaply]

Regions are basically just areas of the screen used for painting.

The Mozilla implementation of regions by platforms really depended on
some things that OS/2 didn't have.

So this XP region manager gives us better region code.

It's needed for the new view manager which depends heavily on regions
working properly.
