This is the problem for me.. I am not capable or interested in patching |
| 10 |
a dozen or more wm's for something I'll never use. Also, from further |
| 11 |
discussions with foser on the topic, I get the impression that the idea |
| 12 |
is to throw the current ability to edit the menu to my taste out the |
| 13 |
window |
| 14 |
and go for a menu generated completely by .desktop items. I feel that |
| 15 |
other minimalistic wm folks won't like the sound of this either, could |
| 16 |
you clarify the plans there? Also of note, if upstream rejects your |
| 17 |
patch, you'll end up maintaining it for life, updating as often as |
| 18 |
upstream moves a few things in their own menu code. |

So the questions are, *who* is the somebody who will patch all these |
| 21 |
wm's, and will I have to use it? |

Thanks, |
