It would be more sensible to have a single '-g' flag, for geometry, which would take an X geometry string. I did write a patch a while back which did this, but I don't know where I put it. I also didn't find it at all useful, and some of the code was a bit ugly. What would be the use case for this?

DIALOG wouldn't work, because dmenu would be given silly decorations &c. I think if we were to go down this route we'd have to go with DOCK and use _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL.

I would think that moving one's mouse unfocusing dmenu would be annoying. But if someone were to write a patch I would try it out. Thanks, cls
