I did consider that, but who's going to intercept and handle that message?
It's not an operation that is or should be known outside of the x11drv, so
sending the window a custom message will either conflict with some other
message, or get the message ignored (I doubt DefWindowProc passes custom
messages back to x11drv or anything). Or did you have any particular ideas
in this area?
