PATCH: -multiwindow with root window hidden...

[Harold L Hunt II]

Early,

By the way, I have applied your patch to my local tree (except for 
hiding the root window).  I like it.

I have changed the tooltip message to print the display and screen 
number (e.g., Cygwin/XFree86 Server - 0:0) to help identify which screen 
each icon is associated with.

I also added checks to enable the feature only when Rootless or 
MultiWindow mode is active.  Hmm... actually I don't think that is 
necessary.  The icon should be active in all modes.  It certainly 
doesn't hurt to have it there at all times.  Thoughts?

I am going to take a peek at adding a menu with an Exit button so that 
users don't kill their session on accident.  If it can be done easily I 
will go ahead and do it.

I really want to release this soon... this is the first big change we 
have had in a while.  It turned out to be relatively simple, but your 
time and effort put into actually creating the feature is highly 
valuable to all of us.


Thanks again,

Harold
