[Mono-list] Interception X11 events

[Diego Nunes]

A windows manager "knows" when a new window application rises by
receiving a Maprequest event.
This event informs about handle, location and dimension of new window,
so the WindowManager can Paint the Title Bar, borders and Minimize,
maximize and close buttons.
Looking at the source of XplatUI, this event is ignored.
I'm thinking in 2 solutons:
a) Mono changes the source and translate Maprequest to WM_USER with
additional info.
b) Rewrite (derivating) Application (Run method), XplatUI and
XplatUIX11 classes for this job.

Diego.
