I realize that this is not a X11 issue per se, but I would love to see quartz-wm put a border along the lower edge of the window. It should be the same height as the little square that is used to change the size of the window. The problem I have is that the re-size square overlays what is on the window and makes, for example, the arrow on the bottom of scrollbars unusable. Or makes text in terms (I use gnome-terminal) unreadable if the scrollbar is on the left and text goes all the way across the term. Pretty much all Mac programs have some space along the bottom with this re-size button so this change would make X-windows more Mac like not less. And as a bonus this strip could be used to move the window (again like most Mac programs).

Is there a quartz-wm mailing list where these requests should go?

is there any way to convince quartz-wm (or something else) to put a
border around X-rendered windows? I often have several trminal
windows open on my screen, and it can be hard to see where one stops
and the next starts.

Thanks
