(Point of note: Let's stop including the razor-qt ML for anything that doesn't really concern both projects if possible) I think getting rid of xfitman is the only way forward. We talked about having a full-blown QPA plugin for this sort of thing. I don't know how KDE does it - Martin Graesslin probably knows; CC'd, any comments on this? J.
