I've done some work on this using the r4 twm as a basis. at the moment you get a virtual desktop with a display similar to that in swm. it is currently under test by other people (mainly at mit), and when i'm reasonably happy i'll give it all away. people who are _really_ interested can send me mail and i might give you a copy now. i don't want to distribute patches at this point - if i do give it to you then you'll get the whole thing. i'm also interested in hearing from other people doing similar things. dave. -- Dave Edmondson Department of Computing, Imperial College, 180 Queen's Gate, London SW7 1BZ UK phone: 071-589-5111 x5085 fax: 071-581-8024 dme@doc.ic.ac.uk, ..!ukc!icdoc!dme, dme@athena.mit.edu
