-win32rootless is going to cause a lot of trouble for people to
remember, and most people will get confused about the distinction
between -rootless and -win32rootless. Is there any reason to suspect
that the old '-oldrootless' will remain in use after the new '-rootless'
is available? It would seem to me that we might even want to just
replace the original rootless functionality with the new functionality
that uses the shared code.
Anybody have some input on this?
Post a binary and I'll let you know! 8-}
I think the real question here is: how is the new rootless mode going to
affect multi-window mode (if at all)? I've used the old rootless mode,
and like it a lot, BUT it's really convenient to have my windows show up
in the task bar/menu.
