- You'll need to use and/or modify one of the virtual-root window
- managers (tvtwm, swm) and use the f.nail function to attach your
- banner window to the physical root window.
-
- You can't meet this requirement unless you specify a particular
- interaction between your banner-window application and one of these
- window managers.
