Thanks for responding to my previous notes about xcluster. Here's more:
- It's good to have a QUIT button, but it should be positioned somewhere
highly visible (specifically, upper left corner, given that a user could
easily pop the window up accidentally with only that corner showing -- see
below); anyway, a quit button among the cluster buttons is obviously
inappropriate and awfully easy to miss. Please move it...
- Since this is a full-screen window, shouldn't it automatically pop up and
place itself with its upper left corner at 0,0? Perhaps for twm users with
some kind of virtual desktop larger than one screen, it makes sense to allow
placement by hand, but for everyone else (read: practically everyone), it is
pointless to offer the option of where to place the window: you can't do
anything to size the thing, and it's basically useless if it's not put at
0,0! Why should we open it up to users to mess themselves up by misplacing
the xcluster screen (even if we give a QUIT button in a place that might
help -- see above)? Please automatically place this window at 0,0.
Thanks,
--Kevin
