Typical X11 solution, checking for type of screen ;->. How many types of screens
are there already around and how many will there be in the near future ?
I vaguely remember some anouncement of a color screen last week.

Personally I like the Mach solution: gadgets get obscured too often but with
Mach I only have to click on any part of the window to get it up front.
It saves me a lot of window shuffling and I finally got rid of that *******
click-to-type.
