Hi Frank! Frank> This code successfully preserves the Perl/Tk windows most of the Frank> time, but not quite all the time.

I looked at the script, but I can't test it right now - I'm testing now the Plugin <-> Prima ipc, and I'm currently under win32. As you say, it is not a reliable method to catch events - my idea is, that using the module I'm writing now, it will be possible to get notification directly from the plugin. That should be working in win32, but I can't say anything about X until I test it. The solution I'm trying to make is that the Plugin ( or Netscape) would send a reliable signal to a listening perl program. But anyway, I have to get the thick X book, because the whole thing looks very strange - the DestroyNotify comes bottom-up, that's right - but I believed that under any circumstances a child could access it's parent. I have to look at the manual, or maybe if you have one, please find these specifications also - because mine isn't full. PS. - From the other hand, if the X protocol guarantess that a parent is always visible to a child, it is not a race then, but something else.
