Seamless MinMax ToDo ?

Hi all !!

I came across the notes.txt file, in the seamless package, where it states:

______________________________________________________________________

todo:

-----



<WINDOW WORK>

-support dos boxes/special cases (see:
http://www.macadamian.com/column/windowshooks.html)



<TASKBAR WORK>

-maximise implementation

-'un-maximise' implementation

-minimise implementation

-min/max of windows works with items on the taskbar

-when window title changes on server, change it on client as well


. . .

Limitations:

------------



-Must run in fullscreen mode. Client screen res must be set to a
compatable TS screen res.

______________________________________________________________________


Looking at the clipper.cpp code, line 166, there is indeed a " // TODO
" for the MINMAX case:

______________________________________________________________________

. . .
                } else if ( strcmp( messageType, "HCBT_MINMAX" ) == 0 ) {
                    if ( OUTPUT_DEBUG_INFO == 1 ) {
                        OutputDebugString
                        ( "TS WINDOW CLIPPER :: CLIENT DLL :: Info -->
Message was of type HCBT_MINMAX" );
                    }


                    //TODO

                } else if ( strcmp( messageType, "HCBT_MOVESIZE" ) == 0 ) {

. . .

______________________________________________________________________

Could anyone please clarify to me:

- Does it mean that, in seamless mode, min / max / restore operations
are not supposed to work?
- Why certain apps (eg. Excel, MS-Word, etc) do
maximise/restore/minimise (with bugs in xfwm4, but better in
metacity)?
- What would be this TODO part related to? Any hints, please?

Thanks a lot !!!
