does outline move have to grab X? it seems like most evil thing (in
context given context:-), turning nice multitasking system into a one
task dos piece of crap, even if it's for few moments only (mostly).
the move could be excusable but the bigger problem is placement of
new windows - if you have manual placement, the new window (e.g. browser
popup add) stops the whole system (well, all X programs) from working.
that's quite nasty. IIRC the placement of new windows always uses
outline so your workaround wouldn't work. [yes, I know I can disable
popups:-) that's not the point]
OT: am I the only one (ignorant of details of X internals:-) wishing
grabbing the server was not introduced at all?
