Lincoln Lab - Group 42 Lines: 12 In-Reply-To: wolinsky%isys@uunet.UU.NET's message of 20 Dec 90 00:24:51 GMT Why don't you grab all the mouse and keyboard events? Wouldn't that simply prevent the window manager from getting any input that would cause other windows from obscuring yours. I suppose that processes that are already running and processing could suddenly decide to do things, or if the xhost has been set so that other cpu's can use the display another user could do something that would interfere. But these are pretty pathological situations. Hayden Schultz (haydens@juliet.ll.mit.edu) MIT Lincoln Lab
