- I like this idea. It looks like a very elegant solution. And it could
- make the programming of certain multi-window/multi-document programs a
- little bit easier. But it could be a bit tedious to have to define a
- custom palette for every window (not to mention the cost in memory ;-)
- Maybe the vdi-handle is a better candidate. Some libraries (like
- Warwicks C++ lib I think) use a new vdi-handle for every window anyway.
