Quite frankly, I have absolutely _zero_ visibility into things like this, so before I merge it I want ack's from various layers (preferably a mixture of interests - are any vendors interested, is DavidW ok with this, who is using it now and are the interfaces and designs correct etc etc?) So I simply cannot make that decision. I don't have the expertise or the knowledge. I'll have to trust somebody else for things like this, and it should be somebody who isn't "personally involved". In other words, I kind of want a sign-off from other parties, because I can't pull things like this "blind". Are there (embedded?) vendors that already integrate this into their kernel, or wait for it? Is dwmw supportive of this? Questions, questions.. Linus
