[Mono-list] Interception X11 events

[Chris Toshok]

You're probably better off writing your own event handling/translating
for a window manager.  The purpose of XplatUIX11.cs is to provide the
win32 semantics MWF needs (and only what it needs) in an X11 world.  The
additional events (all the *Request events) have no mapping in the win32
world, and you'll end up having to set the RedirectRequest flags on
native X windows anyway.  Also, there's no way in SWF to read X window
properties.

If you're looking to draw on window frames using S.D, you can do that
without pulling in SWF.  Check out gtk-sharp/gtkdotnet/Graphics.cs for
an example of how to do it with a Gdk.Window.
