I will see this week if I can undust the startup notification patch. With
those 2 I should be able to implement proper Tyrannical serialization*. I
guess I will have to save the state to a file or gsettings. I don't think I
can trust X to properly preserve a serialized lua table.

Hi Harvey,
The answer is not black and white, and we are definitely aware of the
issue. The high CPU usage is due to many different thing. Up to ~October,
before LGI added support for caching, it was the main bottleneck by far.
But the reason it was a bottleneck is also partly because we abused it
Gio has something built in for icon lookup, I am not sure if it is for
.desktop only or it also work with such requests. I am not sure if we could
use it instead of this. Maybe crafting a fake .desktop?

Yes, it is less or more the same code as Uli posted, but there is no
need to use xproperty for that, startupid is being cached locally
anyway.

while it is possible to pass functions to awful.menu, if you are looking
