Indeed things like pixes would not work (unless the texture files had
the same path on both machines). Its really just the control data stuff
that would be handy. Clearly generating so many PD messages could be
ugly for performance. Anyone had any ideas for something similar easier
than messing with chromium? Like always my ideas are up for scrutiny.

Here is the proposal for clearing the gemwindow w/ varying degrees of
transparency: "trails" (in terms of interface rather than openGL!)

I amassed about 400 emails over my week vacation, so I'm slowing hacking
at it, I'll respond to your popup comments soon.
