I have to agree with Martin. We played with eggwm while ago in Razor with results (as I remeber it): - unfinished basic features - native italian or spanish (I don't remember) comments and variables - heavy X11 usage (remember wayland and similar approaches) For me it would be great to use kwin one day - with kde5 frameworks and weak dependencies it can resolve many tasks for us. Of course it depends how (even if) openbox guys will adopt wayland too. Or if there will be something like standardized wayland client library with usecases like: "give me all windows on desktop 1", "maximize window #666"... cheers, p. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSVlh0AAoJEC8yRjM4uE2tYloH/i89CP35EowoFLLdG1brxW6f HBONmgYiX1n7peUZeCW75HXsoeoo7ovNRVll/j7Hfi67W1werbM1J/ElI3gw3IDf 33tjqmB40CbLVEeqD7yyh7lndXfjp6TDpbZx3Li7vlBTPYuRgDfSeZZRHAnCxmzy WoZTfLikVyqp8XWJIRmwu6TpD0F/jrQlA8gIcYodS55Y5Qhs2e6bg9NpohK7r0jb ncrXHR4PaMrB37ndQo4anwuTtTuC6FnwEILBdsh0D2FPrS7VajECakCO4OAAkCSH KoaEdDet+QsCHFkmPH85VsbczR/fvofzUj6XwCOh29SE3KD5Z57OkmDzSmSrrR4= =iMgG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
