Ideally, you will be spending a few hours looking at hiding the root
window. :) Search the mailing list archives for information on why it
is not hidden yet. Also note that MultiWindow mode is still
experimental. That is, it is not complete.
It's close enough to complete to be of general utility to me :)
I've got a patch written but am waiting for what seems like an eternity to
get the thing compiled. If only cygwin's make supported distributed
compiling; I've only got 250+ computers at my disposal :)
The patch took all of 10 minutes once I figured out where it was supposed to
go. Of course, if I'm wrong about where it goes it will take me a bit
longer to figure out where to hack it in, but I'm reasonably confident that
the basic code is correct... Basically, it creates a tray icon and then
hides the root window. When you right-click on the icon, it should pop up a
menu with one item on it, "Exit."
Anyways, once it finishes compiling I'll test it out and report my results;
if I've got it right, I'll post some code.
