Rootless Mode is an Important and Needed Feature

I think that a Rootless mode for the Xserver right now is one of the most important and crucial features needed. For the Xserver to be used in a way that is convenient for many users, the option to have X applications displayed on the main Windows desktop is pretty important. Of course the

Debatable: Rootless Mode is an Important and Needed Feature

While, it might be nice to allow Windows to be the Window Manager and that it might be convenient, it is not a requirement for many people's regular and daily use of the Xserver. Would it be cool? Yes. I cannot right now think of a single X app would work better if Windows managed it. If there

CATIA Launch Fails

Re: Debatable: Rootless Mode is an Important and Needed Feature

I think that you are looking at it a different way.. If we had a rootless X-windows it would allow better integration with our current environment... and would help get it past the pointy haired bosses Thanks David R. Fischer Jim Drash wrote: While, it might be nice to allow Windows to be

Re: Debatable: Rootless Mode is an Important and Needed Feature

Well, it isnt an absolute requirement, but it certianly is a significant convienience. I mantian some computer systems for some people, if I wished to use the Xserver to provide an X application for people to use, I know that if I told many people that they first had to maxamise a certian window

I'm sure Harold would appreciate any patch contributions you make towards this... Seriously, very week (or so) somebody asks for this, but nobody puts code forwards. *shrug*, I think Harold is doing a fantastic job, and when he eventually gets around to scratching that itch I'll thank him

Re: Rootless Mode is an Important and Needed Feature

Really? Thanks for the insight. Are you willing to sacrifice 20 hours per week to work on it? No? In case you didn't notice, rootless mode has been on the To-Do list for over a year. It is simply difficult and large in scope, thus no one is working on it. In fact, there isn't really any

Thank you John. You've got precisely the viewpoint that I am trying to instill in Mr. Mlarcvaernas. I guess the idea is don't look a gift horse in the mouth, eh? :) Harold John Morrison wrote: I'm sure Harold would appreciate any patch contributions you make towards this... Seriously,

Re: Rootless Mode is an Important and Needed Feature

Good point Alexander. On a side note: Why is it that XDarwin has so many people contributing code and features (they seem to have an OpenGL-passthrough system now, which is pretty amazing), while Cygwin/XFree86 has so few contributors? This seems contradictory because Windows is on 95% of
