Does anyone know if Gtk2Hs exposes enough of the X11 API that it could be used to write a window manager? Thanks! -- [Geoff Washburn|ge...@ci...|http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~geoffw/] |

I'm pretty sure it doesn't. In fact, we don't expose any X11 API, only whatever is exposed through Gdk. Window Managing functionality is not amongst that API, I'm afraid. It might be possible to wrap the necessary functions directly and use Gtk2Hs for the rest, but I don't know how much work that is. Axel. |
