I was wondering if it is possible under 1.3 to write a window manager. Intuition already does most of the things that I want, but I'd like to be able to "iconify" a window (basically, have the window be closed and have an icon appear, such that the program continues to run and when the icon is clicked upon the window returns as though it had always been there). My guess is that I want to "unmap" the original window, leaving its layer behind the backdrop. Is there a friendly way to do this that won't make the real program barf? - Andrew "who needs a sig?"
