It _could_ get annoying (and often does). The problem is that I cannot
seem to get my object tree to replace the desktop. I get the address
of the tree using rsrc_gaddr(), set the ob_width & ob_height values
to match the work-area dimensions of window 0, and then issue the
WF_NEWDESK call to wind_set. Nothing happens. When a redraw is needed,
nothing happens. If I'm lucky, the system crashes. Does anyone know
what I am doing wrong?
The alternate solution is to make the "desktop" an untoppable window, and
make all clicks inside it (which get sent WM_TOPPED messages) count as
MU_BUTTON messages. This would work a little better, I think, but it
does have its problems.
