I am not sure I understand your application, but couldn't you implement it with a single virtual file that the window manager creates, and which the remote client blocks on. When the user changes the layout the info is written to the "changes" file. Thus the remote end can keep a cache of the window systems state close to it by just reading a single file rather than scanning the widget hierarchy. -Steve
