I guess both the python module and the dbus specific user space tool way involves installing non-lisp programs so it probably doesn't matter which one of those one chooses (assuming they're both easy to install). However, clearly, cl-dbus or another lisp dbus implementation is the long term solution :). How hard can hacking dbus possibly be? > Yes.

You can use stumpish to send lisp code to stumpwm to evaluate. It's in contrib/. That's how stumpwm-mode.el works, which lets you evaluate code into stumpwm using standard emacs bindings. -Shawn _______________________________________________ Stumpwm-devel mailing list Stumpwm-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/stumpwm-devel
