Hi Peter,

Could you list some example applications that use multiple simultaneous OS 
windows?  Most of the applications I use regularly are mostly one window 
applications except for the occasional (usually modal) dialog box.

The only one I can think of readily is MS Outlook, and the common case is 
one window per open e-mail.  This could be considered as multiple 
instances of an e-mail viewer/editor program running at once though.

I guess my main point is that you can probably accomplish something very 
similar to a true multiple OS window VM without having to do *any* VM 
hacking at all - just some creative application of the existing 
technology.

Interesting suggestion.
 
The point is to support a number of Use Case Scenarios that have the 
characteristics of running in ONE image with mutliple OS Windows. It's not 
just multiple projects, it's also single applications with multiple os 
windows as this is the way that most applicaitons in Windows, KDE, GNOME, 
Mac OSX work.
 
Cheers,
 
All the best,
