There are two features i really miss when i must work under Windows:
a) The alt/mouse moving/resizing of windows.
b) The ability to wheel-scroll an arbitrary window or scrolling UI control without having to bring it to the front. In Doze you have to explicitely give that control focus before you can scroll it with the wheel. There is an "X-mouse-mode" add-on for Windows, but (again) it's an add-on kludge and doesn't work as nearly nicely as that feature under X11.
c) "Focus follows mouse", I can be typing into a background terminal, while reading from the man page in the foreground. d) Centre click the titlebar to send a window to the back. Still haven't figured out how to get that on a Mac and it frustrates me. e) Multiple desktops is much better integrated in X than any of the add-ons for Mac or Windows, but it still needs more work. (to tie an application to a desktop) X rocks. -- Michael James michael.james@csiro.au System Administrator voice: 02 6246 5040 CSIRO Bioinformatics Facility fax: 02 6246 5166 No matter how much you pay for software, you always get less than you hoped. Unless you pay nothing, then you get more.
