t the relationship between the proposed socket and the .so would be to blackbox the socket, as with X, so that users simply initialize with a C (or whatever) API call like XOpenDisplay() and go from there, and the .so takes care of actual communication via socket (or, possibly, initi

xml. WRT asciidoc, Thomas mentions stuff "within the Documentation/ directory", but I don't know what this refers to (there is no such directory in the 2.6.4 source). In any case, I would think that it should not be hard to parse/scrape/whatever the existing docs into a NAME, SYNOPSIS, DESCRIPTION pattern, rather than do it all manually.

Hey gang. I'll be eligible for GSOC this year. I recall that Thomas has been interested previously, but did not get the application in or did not qualify. I'm not familiar with the fvwm source, but it's been my WM of choice for about a decade, I work a lot in C, and have done a few very minor th

Recently alt-ctrl F1-8 to drop into a VT stopped working; I don't use this everyday so I am not sure when, but I believe it was after installing 2.5.28 -- going back to 2.5.26 didn't help tho, so I am not sure. Have there been any reports of this? -- MK

virtual viewport! And the thing has a cooling fan and 1Gb of memory on it! None of the big DE's -- KDE, gnome, XFCE -- (or the WM's they use) support it, no matter what your hardware. I guess the idea just never caught on well enough, and is slowly becoming obsolete. Call it "devolution". -- MK
