Rootless mode

Kensuke,

Very interesting patch.  I have compiled a version of the multiwindow
executable and checked it out.

Am I correct that the root window is still being drawn, even thought it is
not really usable?  Is that something that remains to be fixed, or did I
have something go wrong with my patching?

Harold

Hello,

I am writing code for rootless mode. It creates Windows window for each
X Window. I add "-multiwindow" option. With this I can use taskbar, move
and resize window.

But this sometimes does strange behaivor, and code is not clean.

It seems to be difficult for me to write complete rootless mode,
so those who are interested, please help.
