Sorry for my previous noise, but I got a bit excited by the fact that my approach seemed to be working and I recorded and sent just a bit too quickly. This is the correct implementation of my idea: a 'sendMessage' for visible layouts: 'sendMessageToVisible'. And for the button events we use 'sendMessageToVisibles', which will call the above functions. I checked and this actually fixes the problems reported in #111. Let me know, please. Cheers, Andrea Thu Feb 21 11:08:53 CET 2008 Andrea Rossato * Fix issue #111 The use of broacastMessage for sending button events to visible layouts conflicts with the possibility for those layouts of changing the windowset. This is possible with sendMessage, if the layout modifying the windowset doesn't return a new layout. This is how we handle mouse focus changes in decorated layouts. By generalizing sendMessage, we can use it to broadcast button events and let layouts in visible workspaces change the windowset as long as they do not update the layout. This should fix the problems reported in issues #111.
