I'm interested in hacking up some basic window manager support for
nano-X. Is anyone else looking into this, or has someone thought much
about it in the past?
I'd use a model similar to the way X works. Basically, when client A
tries to map window W, if client B is requesting SubStructureRedirect
on the parent of W, then instead of actually mapping W, the server
generates a MapRequest event and passes it to B. (Unless A == B, in
which case it justs maps W.) So assuming B is the window manager,
then it creates the frame window, and reparents W into the frame, then
maps both the window and the frame.
Pretty much all this stuff is currently unimplemented in nano-X,
including the ability to reparent. But I don't think it sounds that
hard. (famous last words)
Anyone have any thoughts?
