Please add this information in the commit message. It was only after reading this that I knew what else to do in order to see it in action (after the segfault fix from yesterday). And from a brief look, I liked it and it seems well integrated in WM. The WPrefs thing might be a nice touch, but what I really liked was how dragging appicons to the drawer added them just like when you add dockapps in the dock itself. So what does the WPrefs option to cross out the drawer do? Does it simply remove the option to add the drawer when you right-click the dock? If that's the case, it's a bit odd and counter-intuitive to the WM experience. Since on that same configuration panel in WPrefs, if you choose to have the clip and the dock, they will "be there" when wmaker starts and you don't do anything else. Whereas before reading the explanation you wrote above I was expecting to get a drawer after I selected it with WPrefs. When I started wmaker and nothing new was there (at first sight, how would I know that I should right-click the dock?) it was a WTH moment and I was already tired to figure it out. That is a bit inconsistent with the other WM behavior. Perhaps you should add the drawer on next the start just like the clip behaves. I'm looking forward to see the next iteration of your patch set. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
