If by system modal you mean a window that will block all remaining windows, then that is generally, with very few exceptions, considered to be evil and I doubt you'll get support for something like that. Especially given that the few expections work like described in another answer, with override redirect and grab. > And for screensavers, is there a WM that can allow a program to pop up over > a screen saver? No. It is up to the screensaver what it allows, or rather not allows, to be visible. -- Lubos Lunak KDE developer -------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: [email protected] , [email protected] Lihovarska 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 972 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http//www.suse.cz
