[dev] [st] Handling of WM_DELETE_WINDOW atom
Hi people, It seems st won't terminate itself when WM_DELETE_WINDOW is sent by a wm. You can observe that behavior when spawning st from another terminal and then sending an event - XSendEvent() - with the WM_DELETE_WINDOW atom as data. Dwm - the killclient() function - works around that, by checking if the client supports such an atom handling, and if not it kills the client - XKillClient(dpy, window). Although the work around might be the right thing for such clients, I believe this should be fixed in st, and on receival of such message it should gracefully terminate. Here [0] is what icccm says about deleting widows, and here [1] [2] is what ewmh says about closing windows in case you're looking into the standards.

Re: [dev] interested in issue tracker dev
So, how are things going? I guess setting up an existing BTS on suckless.org while waiting is out of the question? I'm already using some sort of TODO/XXX in comment but it could be better... For what it's worth, here's my usecase/design/whatever. I don't need much: - basic interface (cli, mail, http, ...) really don't care as long as it's usable and not too complex - title, description, status, comments - *every* field above should be editable
