It sounds like it may be intricate enough that it would be good to get wider testing before landing. Probably worth an explicit CFT; people can grab it from the branch on LP, or you could publish a tarball (the mk_tar.sh script in source automates that nicely, though you may need to adjust the tar(1) invocation a little for different systems). > When that is in, it probably makes sense to look at some OpenDesktop > / EWMH things [...] Indeed. It seems to have mostly superceded the ICCCM WM stuff in practice, which simplifies things a little (ignore something long enough, and it goes away! ;). But yeah, the specs I've seen do leave something to be desired. > If there's enough EWMH stuff in, I think the GNOME stuff can > actually go out, since as I understand it, it is for Gnome 1.
