Re: Desktop-style window management

It wasn't at all my intention to judge the existing window management 
philosophy of PicoGUI. Look, I have developed a nice little mainboard for a 
very small 68k computer scene without the ambition to make any profit. 
There is one variant of the native OS, which is under a weird proprietary 
license, and one which is free software. The proprietary OS is the only one 
which supports the highcolor graphics chipset I designed for my mainboard, 
but I would like the free native OS to also have a nice GUI.

In fact I like the architecture of PicoGUI, and it seems portable to my 
machine. But I definitely need a sort of window management, that people are 
somewhat used to. With the existing PicoGUI window management I don't even 
need to attempt to find developers in my small scene (there are very few 
anyway), the race would certainly be lost before I start it. I do of course 
not expect window management additions for PicoGUI be made to help targets 
as exotic as mine. I just tried to kindly ask a few questions :-) Many 
thanks to all who gave their comments.

Peter
