Well..thats my question :) ,
what is the maximum number of windows that I can create in X.

X has to be able to show 600 windows at a time for me to be useful.

Do they take a lot of memory ?

thnx. The Muppeteer.

I don't know what the maximum number of windows
that can be created actually is - but on my SGI
and Linux systems I create around 2500 without
any strain on the systems at all. I suspect I could
go on and on until memory ran out. An X-window of itself
doesn't take much memory, but of course, it is the content
of the window that counts !
 
Thanks a lot ! Greetz,
