Hello: I keep using the Sokoloff's branch, I have ported some components successfully but those that relies on Xlib are stalled. While I was trying to fix the taskbar also realize that both Xlib and Xcb can work together. I didn't like the idea of use two libraries that do the same thing, but if you think it's not mandatory we can move on.
About liblxqt, I agreed with you, we must finish it's port to Qt5 before once it became a bit stable we keep working on the panel and the other components. I'm interested in helping you with this but right now I'm a bit busy with my thesis work, i have to send the report tomorrow and on thursday I have to present it to the judges :-(. So i will have a little time to code. But in the meanwhile we can work on design, gather some requirements and agreed on the API. Afther this week i will have some free time to code :D. About the kwinsystem support, i have to say that i was overwhelmed, what a shame. I thought that it will be easy but i was to far away from truth. The thing that most shock me was the leak of documentation, may be I'm a bad googler but I only found it's API description. So nothing have been done in this area. So, do we start by liblxqt?
