Rootless mode

[Harold L Hunt II]

JS,

Kensuke titled his message ``rootless mode'' when it should really have 
been titled ``multi-window mode''.  The goal of multi-window mode is to 
create a Windows-window for each top-level X Window, rather than 
creating one huge window for your entire X desktop.
