rootless & multiwindow mode & Windows 2000sp1

[Harold L Hunt II]

Kevin,

No, running them in conjunction will never be an option.  The dummy root 
window is there because multiwindow is not yet finished.  When it is 
finished, it will be removed.  There will never be a reason, nor will it 
be supported, to run with -rootless and -multiwindow.

-emulate3buttons can go anywhere... you just mispelled it (not misplaced 
it).
