I would love to have access to the entire patch-set for all the
patches since the 3.6 release. I suspect that the culprit is Claude's
Xinerama patch, but since I've got zero feedback to my last plea for
help in May and I really don't want to try to untangle that patch from
the 16(-4) patches applied since 3.6, I've decided to spend my time on
other things and just use my own 3.6-fork, since 3.7-alpha4 is
unusable for me.

My patch-set is available at: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bjornk/ctwm/
