Lines: 32 In-reply-to: jc@raven.bu.edu's message of 13 May 91 03:47:28 GMT Oh, forgot a couple of things: A. Wondering why sometimes when clicking on the clients in the Desktop they become sticky to the mouse until you click down again. I cannot reproduce this at will, but if I click fast enough on a client in desktop many times this will occur. (Just managed to make it happen again. *8-) ) I would like this to be a part of the Desktop but one in which I have a choice, ie, some resource that when a client is chosen by a point and click, you drop it off at another location by clicking again. B. When a client is moved using the Virtual Desktop, it should be placed on top of other clients. Or, at least have a boolean resource which allows this: "VirtualTopOnMove" is my suggestion. C. And finally, if at all possible, though I know this is more of a dream and probably not that feasible, have a boolean resource such as "VirtualSameAsRealRoot" *8-) which has a scaled version of what is actually on the real root. Not sure how good this is, but just a wild suggestion. *8-) jc -- -- James Cameron (jc@raven.bu.edu) Signal Processing and Interpretation Lab.
