I tried to do this in WindowMaker, but the MOL window didn't have a name
under X (ie in the way the emacs window is called emacs.Emacs), so
WindowMaker couldn't store the settings. But I'm using x.x.39, which is
kinda out of date now. Will this problem go away if I upgrade? Or is there
another way of doing it.
On an unrelated point, I noticed that you can compile in USB support for
the UMAX 1220U scanner into the linux kernal. If I did this would I be able
to use the scanner under MOL or is there more to it than that? Being able
to use my printer and scanner from MOL would mean I'd basically never have
to reboot into MacOS for real, which would be fantastic. What's the state
of USB support now? If you guys are looking for things to put on the wish
list then that's my vote.
Cheers
Pete
