Hello, I would like to suggest a new hint '_NET_INPUT_AREAS' for EWMH to be used by window managers and toolkit. This hint would be a list of rectangles where input method is located. This allows toolkits (Gtk etc.) to place it's temporary windows (that might have input-entries) like popup-menu's so that they won't cover input-method areas and user can interact with those windows.
I have suggested to have this patch for Matchbox window manager : http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=333 Maemo Gtk+ (and likely other embedded solutions + desktop tablet pc users) are interested to have this hint. Waiting for your input, // Tapani Pälli p.s. sorry if this mail is a duplicate, i'm not sure if first one got through at all _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
