Window threads

Each desktop, directory or treeview window has an associated thread called the ``window thread''. These are always children of the system thread. Window thread names end with the name of the desktop or directory window. To get the window name, use the query thread_info command.

Each window thread executes the following sequence of commands:

• initial actions in directory or desktop rule file

• suspend

• final actions in directory or desktop rule file

All other threads are children of the thread that created them. For example, double-clicking on an icon in a desktop window creates a new thread which is a child of the desktop window thread.
