[23:26] [gnumdk] hello
[23:27] [gnumdk] i'm searching an answer to this question on google but i can't find it, why(with all window managers), when moving a window in wireframe mode, all other apps are freezed(they don't draw anything)?
[23:28] [ctr] mej.
[23:28] [ctr] gnumdk: because the wm captures the xserver state and only releasesw it afterwards
[23:28] [gnumdk] ok
[23:28] [ctr] gnumdk: so that the screen wont change and the box for the window isn't messed up
[23:28] [gnumdk] ctr: it's a window manager problem?
[23:29] [ctr] no it's not a problem
[23:29] [gnumdk] :)
[23:29] [ctr] it's part of the way X works
[23:29] [ctr] most wm's use it to increase peroformance
[23:29] [ctr] otherwise everytime the window moves even one pixel the whole screen has to be redrawn
[23:29] [ctr] which, depending on the apps, can be very expensive
[23:30] [ctr] in both space and time
[23:30] [gnumdk] ok
[23:30] [gnumdk] Thanx you ;)
