No problem, I'm still in read and test mode anyway :-)

They were compatible in that regard for a long time - there were only
some minor problems plus the incompatible log area.
Anyway, I didn't even test the changes on real hardware - I used qemu
for this; I can only recommend this one to everybody :-)

Also the RootLayer/Desktop/ServerWindow/Input Handling separation. My
original proposal was:
http://www.freelists.org/archives/haiku-appserver/06-2005/msg00085.html

In the ongoing discussion after that, it was vastly improved, though :-

I don't think you're right here (at least if I understand you
correctly) - why should the view's bounds are changed when you scroll
the view? That can't really work.
In case you are confused by the BScrollView class: that's only a
helper, you can scroll a single view alone without any other views -
and you certainly don't want to move the view around in that case, just
its contents.

Okay, I'll first have a look at this font crashing bug.

Bye,
