This is probably a dumb question and so should probably be answered by
mail, but:

If I have an application that has created a custom screen and I don't
want to open any windows, how do I get an IDCMP port between me and
Intuition?  All the documentation talks about windows and I don't see
a way to do it otherwise.  I just want some mouse moves and gadget
information without cluttering up the world with windows.

Is this possible?  If not, is this why I see gratuitous tiny windows
behind so many applications?
