Then there's something that I've had in mind for a while but never
discussed openly: what would you think of completely splitting the bar and
its widgets into a separate application that only interacts with qtile as a
normal client? I think it would make the code much cleaner, also making it
easier to distinguish bugs related to qtile from bugs related to widgets.
Other window managers are structured that way, for example i3 and i3bar.
Maybe this would make another good GSoC project :)
We have talked about it on IRC a few times, my recommendation is that
we start a fresh ML thread about it. I have no objections here, the
reason we decided not to split before was because the project was so
small it seemed like it would be more of an annoyance than anything.
If people think that having two separate repos would be good, I'm
happy to work toward that.
Another interested party here is Roger, he suggested this initially to
support the wayland work (at least splitting off to -core, not
necessarily splitting it out all to IPC interactions).

I've opened https://github.com/qtile/qtile/issues/622 so we have an
official reminder. Do you confirm you prefer discussing in a new thread
in the ML or is the issue tracker ok?
