Does anyone have their own hacks to 9wm? Or know of any? I'm sort of
toying with the idea of merging versions and doing a new release.
I have David's pre-1.2-9wm dated August of 1996. Most other things I've
seen have been based on 1.1. I also have w9wm 0.4.0.
In a side note, it seems that notes I post from the news system
aren't making it back onto the list. At least, I don't see them.
Thanks,
Arnold Robbins

Is that just recently? We've been tinkering with spam filters,
and you might be getting caught by spamassassin.

Does that also explain why, when going thru the comp.os.plan9
newsgroup, it takes forever and a day for the post to show up?

comp.os.plan9 is also moderated, that takes time. 9fans is always the better
choice, now that the spam has trickled down significantly.

The usenet->list gateway at bath.ac.uk is moderated. I assume that's
the source of the delay.

Many years ago, I did add a pipe to 9wm, in a similar vein to
sam's, and some simple commands that could be used to control
it. I put together a virtual window manager with it and some
scripts. It was horrible, and thankfully is long gone. :-)

w9wm is now up to 0.4.1: http://www.grassouille.org/w9wm/index.en.shtml
There is also larswm, which describes itself as "a hack for 9wm, adding automatic window tiling, virtual desktops and many other features designed to make it a very efficient user environment" - see
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~larsb/larswm/

the 'virtual desktop' business is the one that I'm most interested in
having, though I haven't used any virtual desktops for the past year and a
half (both in rio and in the 9wm that I use)... it's a pain on smaller
screens...
someday I'll hack 4 virtual desktops into Rio just to piss people enough so
that they do it better on their own. no need for buttons and nice 'virtual
console managers' -- take the fvwm approach and switch consoles by
'pressing' the mouse against the end of the screen in the direction of the
console you want ;)
there'll be flashy text indicating which console you've just switched to.
the letters would fade slowly and elegantly.
in fact, there _should_ be a virtual console manager present... maybe even
two -- one at the top, one at the bottom, showing a minimized view of the
screen (see the screenshot at:
http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~mirtchov/screenshots/scr-plan9.png
we're half way there!)
