28  * vroot.h -- Virtual Root Window handling header file
29  *
30  * This header file redefines the X11 macros RootWindow and DefaultRootWindow,
31  * making them look for a virtual root window as provided by certain `virtual'
32  * window managers like swm and tvtwm. If none is found, the ordinary root
33  * window is returned, thus retaining backward compatibility with standard
34  * window managers.
35  * The function implementing the virtual root lookup remembers the result of
36  * its last invocation to avoid overhead in the case of repeated calls
37  * on the same display and screen arguments. 
38  * The lookup code itself is taken from Tom LaStrange's ssetroot program.
39  *
40  * Most simple root window changing X programs can be converted to using
41  * virtual roots by just including
42  *
43  * #include <X11/vroot.h>
44  *
45  * after all the X11 header files.  It has been tested on such popular
46  * X clients as xphoon, xfroot, xloadimage, and xaqua.
47  * It also works with the core clients xprop, xwininfo, xwd, and editres
48  * (and is necessary to get those clients working under tvtwm).
49  * It does NOT work with xsetroot; get the xsetroot replacement included in
50  * the tvtwm distribution instead.
51  *
52  * Andreas Stolcke <stolcke@ICSI.Berkeley.EDU>, 9/7/90
53  * - replaced all NULL's with properly cast 0's, 5/6/91
54  * - free children list (suggested by Mark Martin <mmm@cetia.fr>), 5/16/91
55  * - include X11/Xlib.h and support RootWindowOfScreen, too 9/17/91
56  *
57  * Jamie Zawinski <jwz@jwz.org>, 28-Apr-1997
58  * - use ANSI C
59  *
60  * Jamie Zawinski <jwz@jwz.org>, 3-Sep-2003
61  * - if the environment variable "XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW" is set, use that
62  *   as the root window instead of searching for __SWM_VROOT.
63  *
64  * Jamie Zawinski <jwz@jwz.org>, 14-Aug-2004
65  * - changes to get gcc to stop whining about "type punning".
66  *
67  * Jamie Zawinski <jwz@jwz.org>, 16-Dec-2004
68  * - fixed that last fix.
