You spend enough time staring at your monitor, let it stare back, with
shaped windows and core pointer tracking.

So, wearing my X11R7.6 Release Manager hat, I am willing to accept
that the git repositories are not known to be compromised by an
outside actor, and that we can go forward with development & releases
as normal.
I had been quietly holding off on doing any more releases until the
issue was investig

Hey Folks-
I'm trying to debug some multiscreen issues with a wm [0] I'm
contributing to. This wm is scriptable so it makes development pretty
cool, you write a test and it runs the tests in Xephyr.

Hi,
I've been mostly offline whilst moving, so have only read this through
web archives. As mentioned on IRC earlier, it was my account used.
My apologies: as ajax said, it's indefensible, and am not really sure
what else to say. I've suspended my root accounts as well.
That being said:
