[comp.windows.x] pseudo-root windows

al@morgana.uucp (Al Petrofsky) (06/25/91)

The R4 ICCCM makes this comment about pseudo-root windows:

o  The pseudo-root facility in the earlier  draft  has  been
   removed.   Although it has been successfully implemented,
   it turns  out  to  be  inadequate  to  support  the  uses
   envisaged.   An  extension  will  be  required to support
   these uses fully, and it was felt that the maximum  free-
   dom should be left to the designers of the extension...

Can someone tell me whether this extension was ever written, or what
other pseudo-root facilities are out there?

Thanks,

I know nothing of any such extension.  However, couldn't such a thing
be done easily enough with a protocol filter?
