Hello all

This not exactly the question, but I think a good idea for futur developpments:
Modify objc_draw function like this:
If tree = current desktop tree and obj = 0, and ob_type not an userdef or a very
specific type, then not draw this object classically but put the desktop
picture, like this all applications with a desktop, will share same desktop
picture this is visually funny, less getting tired for eyes and work very well.
I have implement it in MyAES: http://myaes.lutece.net/

There is no good picture example of this in the web site unfortunatly.

Just an idea!
