Obviously most window managers currently ignore this hint since toolkit applications continue to work despite the default of false. But doesn't this put *new* window managers in a bind? If a new window manager were to try and honor this hint many existing applications would "break" and the finger would apparently point to the window manager. I suspect the community would resist using such a window manager. Comments? -- --- duane voth duanev@mcc.com ---- ALL systems are arbitrary! --- effectiveness is the measure of Truth --
