[comp.windows.x] MWM meets RTL

amccutchen@nasamail.nasa.GOV (ALAN MCCUTCHEN) (12/13/90)

Our customer has insisted that they want to prevent windows from
overlapping each other.  The windows don't have to use all available
space, but they cannot overlap each other. The windows will contain
various applications, many of which will be commercial products.

Given the Motif Window Manager (MWM), is it possible to get the
"non-overlapped" behavior? We cannot alter the applications, as
they will often not have source code available. We would *VERY* much
like to avoid modifying MWM, but if the changes/additions were localized
enough ...maybe... .


Thanx,

Alan
