Thank you all for your kind reply. I've seen several complaints on "rapid changing configuration file" and stability issues. Web searches include old personal messages, too, so it's nice to have updated correct information available. I'll write these issues on "Comparison of extensible window managers" page:
http://sawfish.wikia.com/index.php?title=Comparison_of_extensible_window_managers It'd also be good to record them on Awesome's Faq. Let me also mention customization in Sawfish. (I'm a retired developer of Sawfish.) In Sawfish, installed lisp/foo/bar.jl (jl is Sawfish's lisp file) is something like a class (in class-object) file, and the inside is encapsulated, but the file itself can be overriden with ~/.sawfish/lisp/foo/bar.jl. You can even add as many such directories as you want, enabling easy switching on and off of your code. (In fact, it's me who implemented it. :) I used one directory for my permanent customization, and others for testing new codes. I've gained a lot from it also as a developer, enabling easy testing of new features without intefering the core code. To tell you the truth, I've never heard anyone appreciate this graceful mechanism, so I may be the only one who used it. ;) With best regards, Teika (Teika kazura) -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
