Re: rootless & multiwindow mode & Windows 2000sp1


Thank you,
   I appreicate the help/info, I don't know if there
are already plans to implement this solution but
running them in congunction whould be an option, to
get rid of the dummy root window, maybe placing an
icon in the icon tray?? that way, someone who wants
the dummy root window still has it there, and/or
someone who doesn't want it can get rid of it but
still be able to control the X session

PS were should the emulate3buttons go if not on the
end?
