The thing is, who should do an autoraise? Should the application, like xterm do it, or should uwm, or your other favorite window manager do it? What do y'all think? -- Dave Cohrs +1 608 262-6617 UW-Madison Computer Sciences Department dave@cs.wisc.edu ...!{harvard,ihnp4,rutgers,ucbvax}!uwvax!dave I think that the window managers should do it (and two newly released window managers (awm and twm) do just that. That way, all programs, not just xterm, can take advantage of the autoraise feature. -- Dana Chee Bellcore MRE 2Q-250 (201) 829-4488 dana@bellcore.com
