Anyway, I think that the *PSEUDO-ROOT-WINDOW-ISSUE* (use this for followup subject) was rather successfully addressed in R3 with that psedo-root program I can't remember the name of. It would create a subwindow of the current display and give it a different name like herman:0.7 instead of herman:0.[0-6] like all the other virtual screens. Can anyone close to that project tell me what exactly was wrong with that model? Also, I really, really, really, really, really want a scrollable root window. I'm just the kind of guy who needs a 456" monitor to hold all his windows, know what I mean, Vern? -- ( My name's not really Gilligan, It's Robert Forsman, without an `e' )
