在本文中，我们讨论了集成组件支持单显示组件（SDG）到窗口系统的优点。对于SDG领域，群件窗口系统（GWWS）相对于传统的SDG工具包和应用程序具有若干优点。GWWS为遗留应用程序、定制SDG应用程序提供SDG支持，并支持同时执行多个应用程序。GWWS结合了传统的单用户单输入公理和新颖的多用户多输入桌面环境。 我们提出了多指针X服务器（MPX），第一个支持SDG的GWWS，以及我们的多指针窗口管理器（MPWM）。MPX和MPWM支持任意数量的真实系统光标，复杂的发言权控制和每个窗口的注释覆盖。为了简化与这样一个GWWS的交互，我们实现了DeviceShuffler，一个从任何计算机耦合输入设备的系统。设备的物理连接点对窗口系统和应用程序都是透明的。这支持在共享屏幕上进行真正的特别协作。
In this paper, we discuss the advantages of integrating groupware support for Single Display Groupware (SDG) into the windowing system. For the domain of SDG, a Groupware Windowing System (GWWS) has several advantages over traditional SDG toolkits and applications. A GWWS provides SDG support for legacy applications, custom built SDG applications and supports the execution of multiple applications simultaneously. A GWWS combines the traditional single-user single-input axiom and novel multi-user multi-input desktop environments. We present the Multi-Pointer X Server (MPX), the first GWWS that supports SDG natively, together with our Multi-Pointer Window Manager (MPWM). MPX and MPWM support an arbitrary number of true systems cursors, sophisticated floor control and per-window annotation overlay. To ease the interaction with such a GWWS, we implemented the DeviceShuffler, a system to couple input devices from any computer. The physical connection point of a device is transparent to both the windowing system and the application. This supports true ad-hoc collaboration on shared screens.
