The use pattern I see for a new-viewport setter is that it would keep your viewports "compact" -- i.e., all in the same region of your virtual desktop. In any event, it seems useful to be able to check to see if a given viewport (i.e., screen-sized section of VD) is empty. -- Jeremy Hankins <[email protected]> PGP fingerprint: 748F 4D16 538E 75D6 8333 9E10 D212 B5ED 37D0 0A03
