Something more: the xterm on the left is missing the window's name. That's due to the focus call, as far as I remember. As I already said, I think this is the price we have to pay if we want a general purpose decoration modifier. I remember Spencer had an idea about fixing the messaging issue. So, I thought we could accept that such a way of decorating the windows breaks the mouse button event, since we were going to fix that anyhow. Instead, if we are not going to fix that problem, I do not really see a possibility to fix Decoration: if I get it right (which may not be the case) a modifier must return Just, in sendMessage and broadcastMessage, otherwise it will have no effect. But, when it returns Just, sendMessage will call "windows" (even broadcastMessage? I don't remember, right now), which will call doLayout, which will call redoLayout and so on. This is my understanding, but I'm not sure I'm really grasping the problem correctly. Andrea
