This a delicate point. What people consider "basic functionality" can be discussed ad infinitum, and in the end I see little chances of agreement. For example, in my case I consider the "old" behavior of the Run dialog to be the "basic functionality" you mentioned. Having anything more than being able to run basic commands is not "basic" anymore, and can be done better by proper applications. Sometimes a small fine tunning like in this case can make wmaker a bit more efficient under some workflows etc, but anyway. What I think needs to be considered very carefully is what a _window manager_ has anything to do with these functionalities. If this is not done carefully enough, we'll end up with not a window manager anymore, but a bloaty "do everything" kind of thing. I just want my window manager to manage my windows! :-) -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
