Basically, what happens is that a window on another desktop is really unmapped in the X sense, and XEmacs has no way to know that this window can be visible again (thanks to a WM command). In the best situation, some window managers will supply more information through a specific communication protocol, which means that if we want to improve XEmacs' concept of window states, we'll have to write specific code for all window managers on earth. In the worst case, some window managers won't give you any information. For them, it will be impossible to fix the problem you describe. Footnotes: [1] To be honest, at the time X was written, there was probably no concept of workspace yet. -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / ENST, INFRES C201.1 mailto:verna＠inf.enst.fr /_/ / /_/ / /__ / 46 rue Barrault Tel. +33 (1) 45 81 73 46 75013 Paris, France Fax. +33 (1) 45 81 31 19
