- THis stuff about panes reminds me.
-
- What is the *advantage* of defining a window to be a pane? I mean, when you
- move the parent window, you have to move the pane *yourself* -- the WIMP
- doesn't do it for you. What does making it a pane give you over making it an
- ordinary window and tracking opens of its logical parent?
-
- I read the WIMP section of the PRM several times, looking for an answer, some
- time ago, but found one not. Can anyone enlighten me?
