Description Roland Mainz 2005-03-11 13:03:20 UTC
[The issue originally came up during the early development&testing stages of the
unified Xorg server]
The "twm" window manager normally manages all screens on an Xserver, however it
does not really make sense to run a window manager on the print displays.
Ulimately it may even case minor problems with functionality such as "warping"
between screens as the user may end-up on a print screen which is not visible on
a monitor.

The simple solution is to copy the behaviour of CDE's window manager which
simply ignores print screens.
