I do have a hunch that the black rectangle is a hack fceux' SDL uses to obscure other windows (so they won't repaint themselfes), or some pseudo-input-only (with output) to get around some limitation in X11 instead of using proper input-onl windows. > It's entirely possible that I have misinterpreted your instructions, though. > Let me know if that's the case. > This got me the information I wanted, even if by slightly differently from what I had in mind. I don't understand why exactly fceux creates this window, though.
