Thanks for your reply.
I am trying to implement some window management features. The feature i am
currently interested in is tabbing. Say we have two windows on the desktop,
window A and window B. When window B is dragged using its tab and dropped
over window A's tab, window B takes on window A's size and window B's tab
gets shifted so that its to the right of window A's tab.
Regards,
Mohmed
