First off...
THE CUSTOMER IS *ALWAYS* RIGHT (I don't always agree...)
Now then, with that said...
The customer wishes to do the following:
Have one process create and map a window. Have another process set
override_redirect to TRUE on said window.
Okay...we go off and play. We get the top-level window (the topmost one
just before the window managers windows). We set override_redirect. We
unmap and the map the window.
This works just great...because we kill the window manager.
Is this really possible ?? If so, how.
I know that the application that creates the window is supposed to do this
but this is not what the customer wants...sigh...

IMO, the window manager shouldn't crash no matter what a user application does. I'd QAR this. --PSW | |||||
