Re: [AD] Windowed grabber?

[Evert Glebbeek <eglebbk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

My own extension to the grabber windowed thing. It does what I already 
described: it sets the default gfx driver to windowed if the grabber is 
invoked as xgrabber. As a consequence, I have added yet another new option 
(imaginatively called fullscreen) to request a fullscreen mode when 
starting the grabber as xgrabber...
Sounds a bit like overkill to me, now that we have the -windowed flag. Oh 
well, apply if wanted (I want it ;-) )

There is a -b switch to keep diff from treating changes in whitespace as 
changes to the source. Does this solve the problem?
