Whoops, it seems my question was previously answered (see message below). But just to be safe... can anybody confirm that the use of client IDs has made it into wmii-4?

The wmii-4 developers should seriously consider this. I've mentioned it, and it was Kris who told me that a unique id was already being generated because it was needed for the plan 9 filesystem protocol for some reason; I think he plans to make the change at some point. - -- Jeremy Maitin-Shepard -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFE6PComV9O7RYnKMcRAgNeAJsFc5T5HwqMU2sWQ40uMYhShkKWQwCfXQ5u iADTOHDxJihSEn7PUizedwQ= =bnZj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/wmii
