Having read a lot of modules recently the easiest way to implement this is to define a phantom window that covers exactly the area you don't want to use, and set the property of that window such that it is one of the "avoided" windows (avoided-windows).
I dont' know what is the property the window has to have. The GNOME panel has such property. Perhaps looking at the definition of avoided-windows. Otherwise it will require some major rewriting. --dmg On Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 6:05 PM, Omen Wild <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have two questions about using sawfish with dual monitors, but with one > rotated.
