Well, in X11 its window ID zero AFAIK.  From looking through NEWT/X11 I'd guess that each port may make use of the root window.  And as well, I have no idea whether "drawing to the root window" has the same meaning everywhere (as "drawing to the desktop background").

If there was a way to do it in jogl, I'd use it.  But I've got too many open projects to hack it together just for myself.

Cheers,
John
