Yes, but hat
is done with a window manger hack, normal X apps can't do
that.
Are you sure this is the case? There are numerous applications that support
swallowing. Some of them are quite small.
Right now I can't think of one though, I'll do some checking. We talked about this some years ago I remember doing
some checking back then,
the ones that I have seen are derived from WindowMakers dockapps.
These apps export small bitmaps as windows, I think the approach is valid for
us to.
Not really, as the bitmap will be ~600 pixels wide and is likely to
contain constantly moving meters, I can image that being quite a load.
Xnest seems like a better option really. It just needs somone who
understands X better than me to look at it.
