Well, that's an honour indeed -- thank you all for your encouragement. I work quite differently to how most others have on this list over the years -- I am a strong believer in peer-review, and despite my having commit access, I will still send patches through for larger functionality before commiting anything -- it works rather well. I will email Jason Tibbets with the relevant details later on. Thanks again, -- Thomas Adam

I just don't have enough time to take care of all the patches. I think you should have commit privileges for CVS to speed things up. Changes in behaviour should be discussed in advance anyway.

PositionPlacement UnderMouse to force window on-screen?
Hi, When the old UnderMousePlacement style got folded in to PositionPlacement, if the window or part of it was going to be placed off-screen, then the window was forced on-screen. Given that "PositionPlacement UnderMouse" just equates to "m-50w m-50w", it's technically possible to fudge this just by tweaking the offsets, but that's sub-optimal. Is this behaviour of having the window partially or completely in some cases off-screen desirable? Granted it's technically what the user asked for but it seems wrong to me. If I patched this, would it be accepted [1]? Kindly, -- Thomas Adam [1] I appreciate I have a number of outstanding ""patches"" sent to this list, so I suppose I really ought to address the balance and not let any of them stagnate. ;)
