     Demo Desktop Widget Postit
 
-    Sizegrip Element is used to make a window without a titlebar be resizable.
+    This is the longer version as it adds a lot to the right click menu to make it like
-
+    the other more complete desktop widgets.
-    There are 3 lines
-    1. Make the window
-    2. Set initial size of window as the minimum
-    3. Read any event from the window which will close the window and return
 
     Note that while the window has no scrollbar, you can still use the mousewheel to scroll
