[comp.sys.hp] HPWM moving whole windows interactively, not just frames.

beshers@cs.cs.columbia.edu (Clifford Beshers) (12/23/89)

As far as I can tell, HPWM has no facility for dynamically
copying a whole window during a move; it just shows the little
xor frame until you release a button.

Does anyone know any way to get around this?  I consider dynamic
movement of the full window to be an important feature, since I'm
using the window manager as an interactive placement tool for
image grabbing routines.

Thanks,

Cliff

To the best of my knowledge, hpwm (and mwm) do not support "opaque"
moves.  I'm a full time mwm user, but I do miss some of my previous
uwm/twm features.
