[SOLVED !] Disabling_Expose_for_some_windows,_some_day?

Many, many thanks to Richard Wareham, developer of the *great* desktop
manager (If you don't know, give it a try, really amazing. Thats an
utility to give MacOS X Virtual Desktop feature "a la" Un*x :
http://wsmanager.sourceforge.net/). Since this one is opensource and I
noted that while running, my window were kept in place during exposi, I
asked him the way to do this and it gave me a nice solution.
Here is what I took from the source code, rearranged to fit into a
WindowController subclass :

-(void)setSticky:(BOOL)flag {
CGSConnection cid;
CGSWindow wid;

wid = [[ self window ] windowNumber ];
cid = _CGSDefaultConnection();
int tags[2];
tags[0] = tags[1] = 0;
OSStatus retVal = CGSGetWindowTags(cid, wid, tags, 32);
if(!retVal) {
if (flag)
tags[0] = tags[0] | 0x00000800;
else
tags[0] = tags[0] & 0x00000800;

retVal = CGSSetWindowTags(cid, wid, tags, 32);
}
}

Thanks to him again.
