Just a thought: would it make sense to also support (for a more 'seamless' integration in the X11 world) some of the common X11 command line options, like -display and -geometry or would the multi-character nature of them completely 'conflict' with the plan 9 way of doing things? (I can understand arguments pro and contra, I just thought it could be nice to raise the issue, once) (w.r.t. the small cleanup feedback I promised in another mail: it's nothing more than the usual s/nil/0/ things, together with an #undef sun before doing #define sun ... in the astro stuff. I'll see that I get to it, but right now I'm having a little fun playing with purify - and a short retry hunting for the warp-below-window bug in acme - unless someone tells me it is already fixed ) Axel.
