I know composite/compiz/beryl has some good libraries for getting work done, but you appear to have a great handle on the code. Do you have your code in the compiz source tree? You may also be just creating the plugins which make install and uninstall pretty esay. Quote "In addition to this, the zoom plugin can now fit the zoomed area to a window, either manually or automatically if enabled and focus tracking triggers. What this means, is that you can make a window take up the entire screen at the click of a key, and with another key you can of course zoom right back out again. This combined with manual panning and fixed zoomed out by keyboard means that the zoom plugin is very very usable now without having to resolve to mouse movement." Does this implementation allow for dual screen support? My research center is very intereested in testing out this feature that you seem to have implemented! Good luck with the at-spi integration. The Gnome email list has some members who have great knowledge in this area. Members from IBM and Sun have built the ati-spi and updated it, and are very active on the list.
