3. Quickly see which workspace you're currently in. This can be helpful
if you tend to have workspaces with similar layouts/appearance (such as
three or four xterms arranged in a grid, as I do)
(I never did manage to get that "workspace indicator" script working --
has anybody made an up-to-date statusbar plugin to do that?)
There is a statusbar workspace script in the ion3 repository I don't know
if it works correctly or not since I wrote my own before that one existed.
It's not very good (doesn't support multiple screens and doesn't detect
workspace renames).
Yeah, it has it's problems. Like the fact that it hardcodes screen 0
instead of using the screen from the screen_managed_changed_hook event,
and the fact that it uses a timer instead of just the hook.
Not noticing workspace renaming is forgivable though because I don't
think ion has any way of notifying anything about the change. (This
would actually be a reason to use a timer if you really wanted it to
catch this, or you could just switch workspaces away and back.) Actually
using the existing script if you just moved the find_screen_id line into
notify_statusbar it will probably pick up workspace renames after the
timeout time.

P.S. My version is attached, if people think is should be in the
repository feel free to tell me to submit it or to submit it yourselves.
I think it should handle multiple screens better (though I don't
really know since I don't have multiple screens, I also don't know that
it will handle multiple statusbars (or even if that can be handled at
all)-- wsname.lua
