The transfer of this information from the user to the window manager must somehow be performed outside the client since we naturally don't want to rewrite all clients to work nicely with our window manager. I can't find any way to do this, not in the ususal doc, nor in the ICCCM. Is it at all possible to do this? Are there any reasons why you shouldn't be able to do this? /Olin -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Olin SICS, PO Box 1263, S-164 28 KISTA, SWEDEN Internet: olin@sics.se Tel: +46 8 752 15 57
