There are reasons why we made the position of the bar (and wmiimenu) not configurable. Once people get used to fixed places, they don't ask to move the bar somewhere else and this reduces some unnecessary code complexity. There are no real arguments of having the bar at top or bottom, beside personal taste and habit.
Absolutely agreed. I've been a bar-on-top person since my Litestep days--I like to have it somewhere I can glance easily, and for some reason, that's at the top for me. As you said, it really comes down to taste and habit.
If there were really serious reasons, I'd also be open to make it configurable, but I haven't see such so far.
And the patch does work, and it's not hard to set up. (And it provided a great opportunity for me to learn more about Gentoo ebuilds! Hoorah!) I understand (as much as a non-developer can, at any rate) the reasons behind the change, and I'm not disputing it. Just glancing with nostalgia at the proverbial good ol' days, as a wmii-2 to wmii-3 migrator.
I recommend using swsuspend2 if you want session support (I do it all the days, suspend to disk, wake up and my desktop looks like I left it).
Actually, I was more referring to X sessions. I'm a running an XP/Gentoo dual boot on a laptop (with a graphics driver known to have issues with the swsuspend2), so I end up rebooting frequently. It'd be nice if I could tell wmii to save a particular layout for reuse, but with the new model, I don't think it even makes sense. (I vaguely remember wmii-2 supporting something similar, but I don't think I ever used it, if it did. So it's really a moot point.) -- ellotheth rimmwen * monjoy *
