Re: finding all windows belonging to an application
Yes, I see the pattern you mention in XID. Appears that the most significant two bytes identify client and the least sig two bytes identify window. This should solve my problem. Thanks very much.

Look at the output of xwininfo -children -root and you'll see what I mean. What you probably want to do is search from the root and find the all the top-level windows with your client's prefix. Mark.

Actually the more I think about the more I really want to know the answer to thoes two questions. ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel Our motivation for having multiple pointers is that we are building large displays (20+ feet) for collaboration. Displays this size may sometimes be used by multiple people simultaneously either on related or unrelated task. So we would like to provide each person with a cursor and the ability to start or migrate applications to the shared display. Initially we just want to support mulitple people working simultaneously on different applications. __ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

How to render multiple cursors?
I earlier had a question regarding how to support multiple pointers. One reply to that was to write a Window Manager to handle this. I can see how the window manager can handle moving windows simultaneously and redirecting input to windows simultaneously. But I'm wondering how would one render multiple cursors from the window manager. It seems if it was just drawn on the root window then other windows would obscure it. Is there a way to draw a top level window that is transparent? Or is there some other trick to getting multiple cursors rendered that will always be on top? Thanks, Grant. __ Do you Yahoo!?

mulitple pointers
Hi, Earlier this year there was a mail thread about multiple pointers. I'm wondering if there is any new information on this topic. We would like to have a collaborative desktop on a display wall where multiple people can work simultaneously. In particular it would be nice to have multiple top level windows (one per cursor) where that cusror's keyboard and mouse events are sent. Earlier it was suggested that this should be handled by the collaborative software. But in our case we'd rather not write specific software, but rather let people run their current applications unmodified on the desktop. Are there any extensions or suggestions on how to develop a scenario like this? Thanks, Grant. __ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
