Message-ID: <4ffd3d501e1a.501e1a4ffd3d@cwru.edu> (raw)
I like the improvements for the most part.
But IMO the window placement is better as it is now until there's something that works like the window command.
Personally I really don't open that many windows after I start initially, but I have a setup with a couple of windows that I like to position exactly right using geometry commands in X. When 9wm-1.2 opens I have to left click to make all of the programs in my .xinitrc position themselves correctly.
In Russ's version they pop up automatically right where I want them.
