documentation
"
    this class describes Xs rootWindow (which is the background window and
    must be used for drawing outside of Views i.e. for dragging between Views).

    To draw in the root window:

	RootView paint:(Color red).
	RootView fillRectangleX:10 y:10 width:100 height:100.

    of course, all stuff from View and its superclasses can be used:

	RootView paint:(Color red).
	RootView noClipByChildren.
	RootView fillRectangleX:10 y:10 width:100 height:100.

    you have to be careful with some window managers, since what you
    see on the screen is not always really the root window. Some Desktops
    add their own view in between (although the Xworkstation class does
    care for this, it seems not to work correctly on all systems).
    In general, you should never use the RootView for normal applications.
