What do people think about Johann Haarhoff's patch from 04 Feb 2009? I started to use a 22" widescreen recently and using that patch is making me happy. I use it only when I have a xterm on the left (to compile) and xjed on the right (with source code), but the required amount of mouse clicks + key presses to achieve that positioning decreases with Johann's patch. If there are people really interested in going to full "Maximus" mode (I would like it), then perhaps studying Johann's patch is a good way to start? In the end I think it would turn Window Maker into a even more powerful window manager, so I guess it is worth trying. Can we steal Gnome's code for this? At least see how they do it :-) -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
