I agree with the lack of desire to look into such a product.  All one
has to do is remember scene from system 0.8 which no longer works with
system 0.9.  My understanding was that it stopped working because it
was originally made with such hacks that broke rather quickly.

However, a way to still do what is wanted is to just create a window
that is the size of the screen and place it in the window list behind all
other windows.

> not buying a cube because such information is not available

C'mmon, they are still on system 0.9.  Half the stuff I do is not documented
yet.  If you want all the information given to you on a silver platter, then
maybe you should wait a year or two.
