Message-ID: <6106b83c758fd550764970aba53bd530@mail.nanosouffle.net> (raw)

Having a window which is `current' and `visible' but not on `top'
gives rise to some effects of concern.  For example, scrolling this
current window is cause for massive load on the system; if there are
windows on top, making them current requires hiding the current one
(clicking on them is ineffective).  My use for being in such a
situation is, e.g., scrolling some acme body in the background while
doing something with an rc window on the foreground (since my acme
window takes up a large part of the screen).


Not particularly important, but an interesting case nonetheless,
ak
