Replacement for windows desktop


Harold,

When viewing in -fullscreen and -nodecoration mode I wish the Xwin screen should 
be the bottom most window on windows desktop and every other windows application 
should run on top of XWin window. 

In effect something like a replacement for windows desktop.

I dont know how we will be able to achive this in a non -multiwindow mode. 
ie, taking root window to bottom most and rest all XWindow application windows 
be in different ZOrder.

But in -multiwindow mode we may be able to do this by doing

      SetWindowPos(hwnd,HWND_BOTTOM, 0,0, 0,0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE);

for WndProc messages 
  WM_ACTIVATE
  WM_ACTIVATEAPP
  WM_MOUSEACTIVATE
  WM_LBUTTONDOWN
  WM_MBUTTONDOWN
  WM_RBUTTONDOWN
of root window

Any comments?

cheers
Biju
