Thanks for the replies guys.

Thanks much.

What exactly do you want to know?

When you were talking about the "link" feature, you mean the linking in between windows within winamp?

In hopes of it being ez-mode, I thought you meant there was a function buried somewhere to link the two windows easily.

I'm currently working on linking the two windows (i.e. when you move the main window, the childwindow moves along with it) by modifying the eventfilters.

I meant that if one window moves, the other moves with it. That's what I understood by your "link" term.

From application's point of view windows are independant. It is the window manager that may control groupping them. What you are trying to do now is to work around the window manager.
