It's just an example.

BTW, GnomeMDI for GNOME 2.0 supports Window-in-Window like QT/Winblow$ does.

If I have anything to do with it, that shit is being removed. It's ugly as fuck.

    If you want to troll, go to Slashdot.

    All the deprecated code is already removed from gnome-libs in CVS.
    Only good code is left, which mean the window-in-window MDI mode (which is optional) is good code.

      He isn't trolling, he is fully right. Drawing
      window decorations is the window manager's job.
      Imitating that by the application will always
      suck. It doesn't integrate with the window
      manager's look and feel, it uses different
      buttons for maximizing or closing windows, and
      it doesn't adjust to the window manager's focus
      policy.

        No, he isn't. The Window-in-Window mode is just one of the many modes in GnomeMDI.
        You can also choose for the Toplevel or Tab mode.
        So there's nothing one can complain about.

        Besides, QT and KDE also do the Window-in-Window thing.

          Somehow I get the impression that gnome advocates
          can not read. Here it is again:

          >> BTW, GnomeMDI for GNOME 2.0 supports

          That's what you responded to. So you are
          trolling, not him.

            I don't believe him. How does he know that that code is "shit" and is being removed?
            Link to mailing list archive please.

              He doesn't know any of those because he said neither of those! Re-read the original message again:

              > > If I have anything to do with it, that shit is being removed. It's ugly as fuck.

              He only sais that _IF_ he was concerned he'd vote to get Window-in-Window MDI out, not that someone actually decided to do so!

              Also he _NEVER_ said the code was ugly, only that the Window-in-Window MDI itself is ugly.

              *sigh* Please read what people say first and don't take everything personally. It would make your life so much easier...

              How do I know it's shit?

              I used it.
              It's ugly.

              It may be good code, but the end results are nothing to be proud of.

              And your assertion that only "good code" is left in gnome-libs is just laughable.

                Ignore the above post. It's posted by a troll who stole my nickname.
