SecureDesktop is stopped, definitely.
===========================

I get more and more bug-reports which shows me that following points
will not work without any source code from IBM:

(*) device-driver FixPak: mouse-driver is not SES-enabled
(*) some original device-drivers (without fixpacks): FFST, some
hard-disk-drivers - I do not know why a hard-disk-driver must be
SES-enabled but...
(*) GRADD-video-drivers should be SES-enable, but I do not know why a
graphics must be SES-enabled but...
This is not a great role of IBM: Even the developers do not know
which drivers are SES-enabled and which not. This is really very sad!

(*) my own replacement of the WPDesktop-class: utilities like
XWorkplace, XFolder, ObjectDesktop will not run with SecureDesktop. I
cannot considerate every WPDesktop-replacement that will come up in
future.

(*) SES-API has changed from Warp4 to Warp4.5 (This reminds to the
WindowsAPI of the week!)

Sorry for all who wanted to use SecureDesktop and thanks to all who
tested this for me. I repeat SecureDesktop is dead and I will not
continue the development.
