twenex: I don't remember seeing the author claim these functions were new to the product.
They may be old to you and me, but a new user isn't going to find them unless (s)he goes looking, and if (s)he does (s)he's probably not a new user anyway.
Yeah, you're right. The fault lies within my expectations. When i read the headline i expected something "whoa" and got something "meh" and was disappointed. No reason to knock down the article, so my apologies.

I'm not impressed. xnest, xwatchwin? Not to be a negative twat, but the stuff described in the article is old news and already worked nicely in the year 2000 with XFree86 4.0.
OTOH, there might be something i'm missing. Please give me a friendly hint, if i do.
