I have a question: if instead of patching the layout.c file for new layouts, each of us who created a layout patch would create a separate file, such as: layout_grid.c layout_bstack.c etc. wouldn't that be easier for people wanting to try several layout patches? This way at least the layout patching part would be a simple file copy, free of any merging conflicts. Cheers, Alex
