Re: Debatable: Rootless Mode is an Important and Needed Feature

Well, it isnt an absolute requirement, but it
certianly is a significant convienience. I mantian
some computer systems for some people, if I wished to
use the Xserver to provide an X application for people
to use, I know that if I told many people that they
first had to maxamise a certian window and then find
the application in that window, many users would be
perplexed and complain loudly. For me a root mode is
very useful, I like using my X Window Manager and X
Desktop in a seperate window. Some users I maintian
for though would be perplexed by this if I decided to
provide X programs for them to use. 

This feature would be important to me for that
convenience aspect, I know apps probably wouldnt work
better in a rootless mode.
