Anselm, I know you are not the wmii maintainer anymore, but since you were the primary developer of wmii-3, I am sure you still have great knowledge of its inner workings. Thus, could you please review, revise, and apply this patch for wmii-3.2 (a stability/bugfix release)? - From the users point of view, no functionality is changed before and after this patch, because wmiir behaves exactly the same. Reading from /event is no problem even after the patch. Thanks for your consideration. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFEa2kmV9O7RYnKMcRAqliAJ4rgCBbB3+NfxWcYbppflHofWY8gwCgkB6X iEAFMLkZC4VWmzUEEY5t2FQ= =BUlo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/wmii
