Denis Auroux twisted the bytes to say: Oops, sorry for calling you Denys and not Denis.

I will try it with xournal in half the screen and try to use another app at the same time. Usually I run xournal in full screen mode. thanks for your quick response, nonetheles.

(this Denis> is what xnohands does). I use both. I should probably disable Pen disables touch if I use xnohands. I'll try it too. --dmg Denis> Best, Denis> Denis Denis> -- Denis> Denis Auroux Denis> UC Berkeley, Department of Mathematics Denis> 817 Evans Hall, Berkeley CA 94720-3840, USA Denis> aur...@math.berkeley.edu Denis> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Denis> _______________________________________________ Denis> Xournal-devel mailing list Denis> Xournal-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Denis> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xournal-devel -- Daniel M.
