XWin design suggestion


Harold,

Here are some suggestions, which you may incorporate into future design of XWin.
(These are NOT at all URGENT)

1)
There may be many people (not me) who may like to do everything by GUI, rather than using command
line parameter to set things.
So I suggest a GUI form for setting and modifying XWin configuration, 
with provision for saving default setting.
(But command line parameter should always supersede default setting thru GUI)

2)
There may be people who may be familiar with Exceed, Citrix, Terminal Server Client etc. They may
prefer to get same Keyboard shortcuts. So you can add command line option for that also.


List of Keyboard shortcuts for Terminal Server Client:- 
ALT+HOME
display the Start menu using the keyboard

ALT+INSERT 
move the focus to the next item on the taskbar  (equivalent of ALT+TAB once)

ALT+PAGE UP
switch between programs in task bar from left to right (equivalent of ALT+TAB)

ALT+PAGE DOWN
switch between programs in task bar from right to left (equivalent of ALT+SHIFT-TAB)

ALT+DELETE
display a windows pop-up menu  (right click - context menu)

CTRL+ALT+END
open the Windows NT Security dialog box (equivalent of CTRL+ALT+DEL)

CTRL+ALT+BREAK 
switch the display between a window and the full screen

Cheers
Biju
