Re: Render to App Window... On Windows?

Mike,

I think in general, if my changes get back into the tree, we'd just have to
make sure users understand the tradeoffs between one way and the other.

Anyway, thanks for your input!

What would be a good name for an ENV variable to toggle "my" new feature.
