Ah, it appears I misunderstood you. I thought you were talking about
applications running within the X11 environment. My mistake.
I agree that having a quick way of taking X11 in and out of
rooted/rootless mode would be very useful.
The idea of moving all of X11's controls into a menubar item is an
interesting one. If one considers X11.app to be a system service rather
than an application, per se, an Application must be identified as the
current one, so that an appropriate Application menubar is displayed at
the top of the screen. And that menubar must be populated with menus
and menu items that mean something to the "current" application. Can
you share your thoughts on this?
