overlapping windows [was Re: Some undesirable behaviour in Test77]

[Peter W. Colovas]

Whoops, I misspoke. multidesk is a windows based virtual desktop program. When I put X windows apps in more than one virtual desktop, they overlap so that the contents are muddled. Actually, you can still access the windows from the "wrong" virtual DT, I.e., a window that is supposed to be in DT 2 is still accessible in DT3, and obscures the contents of the "proper" window.
