Hi all, Short update: things generally work fairly well, except for the system tray icons not being drawn correctly. After some debugging, I'm not entirely convinced this issue is xcffib/qtile's fault, though. I will keep looking.
Also, special thanks to Sean Vig who has done the work to get qtile running on python3. As far as I know right now there should be total feature parity with python2 on this branch (i.e. the systray won't draw correctly, but everything else should just work). Please test things out and let us know if they work for you. \t On Sat, Jun 21, 2014 at 08:35:39AM -0500, Tycho Andersen wrote: > Hi all, > > Check out http://tycho.ws/blog/2014/06/qtile-cffi.html.
