- To all net visitor,
-
- I'm working on a package that manages floating windows. For this purpose
- I need the structure of the WindowList. In IM-1 it says, that the WindowList
- contains ALL windows on the desktop, not just the windows that belong to the
- currently active application. If that is so, how does the WindowManager keeps
- track of which window belongs to which application? You can see that it does
- know that after a context swich. All the windows that belong to the app that's
- becoming active are brought to the front of all other windows.
- Where can I find the root of the windowlist? If I have, say, three windows
- open, and all background applications together have four windows open,
- then how many windows do I count if I walked down the windowlist? Three or
- seven?
-
- Could somebody help me on these questions?
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
