 * Article 12523 of comp.windows.x:
 * From: stolcke@ICSI.Berkeley.EDU (Andreas Stolcke)
 * Subject: Converting programs to virtual root
 * Date: 8 Sep 90 02:26:14 GMT
 * 
 * Andreas Stolcke

 * 1957 Center St., Suite 600, Berkeley, CA 94704	(415) 642-4274 ext. 126
 * 
 * vroot.h -- Virtual Root Window handling header file
 *
 * This header file redefines the X11 macros RootWindow and DefaultRootWindow,
 * making them look for a virtual root window as provided by certain `virtual'
 * window managers like swm and tvtwm. If none is found, the ordinary root
 * window is returned, thus retaining backward compatibility with standard
 * window managers.
 * The function implementing the virtual root lookup remembers the result of
 * its last invocation to avoid overhead in the case of repeated calls
 * on the same display and screen arguments. 
 * The lookup code itself is taken from Tom LaStrange's ssetroot program.
 *
 * Most simple root window changing X programs can be converted to using
 * virtual roots by just including
 *
 * #include "vroot.h"
 *
 * after all the X11 header files.  It has been tested on such popular
 * X clients as xphoon, xfroot, xloadimage, and xaqua.
 *
 * Andreas Stolcke <stolcke@ICSI.Berkeley.EDU>, 9/7/90
 * - replaced all NULL's with properly cast 0's, 5/6/91
 * - free children list (suggested by Mark Martin <mmm@cetia.fr>), 5/16/91
