Alright, thanks Sam, i'll list the properties of the root window and see what I can pick from there. [This is a nightmare. Maybe I should abandon XCB and switch to GTK or Qt, but how do people deploy apps (in binary form) with these toolkits on Linux? Do they ship these 50MB monsters with their apps? Or do they dump the problem on the user? Or do they link them statically for less bloat? But then do they have to provide a downloadable/buildable source-kit for LGPL compliance? Sorry if these questions are too general for this list (is there a better list? I need a linux-gui-app-developers-list)] _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
