I don't remember anything against using enums for a set of masks over
a given integer even if I cannot find an example of this out of hand
in the litterature. I probably can find it if you want it to be
convinced. But really, I don't mind much these being enums or loose
consts even if I like to group related material.
What I don't like is the use of the preprocessor when C++ provides
better alternatives. Everything that is preprocessed is lost to
the later stage of compilation.
On a previous mail, you talked about window manager (more specifically
maximization of windows) and how I can help. Really I am no
specialist. This stuff is documented in the ICCCM
(http://tronche.com/gui/X/icccm) and recent additions at
http://freedesktop.org/standards. My hope is that we will get this
for free through the QT API.
