Yay! And looks like you already did the rest of my wishlist in 0.5.
Though I have come up with a new wishlist item: the ability to
programatically launch/pop-to-front a monolaunch. Perhaps an option that
would tell it to write a pid file, and the have kill -HUP or -USR1 or
something on the pid simulate a button push.
This is good if you want bootup/login/whatever to come up with an app
already running, but you want a click on it's button to pop it to front
again instead of staring a second copy.
BTW, I started working on NetBSD package for 0.5. Looks like some of
the build issues I ran into with 0.4 are already fixed. One of the
remaining issues is that NetBSD doesn't have strndup. After
investigating this function, I consider this a good thing, as nobody
even among the Linux people can seem to agree on what the semantics
are... does it:
allocate N and strncpy?
allocate N and strlcpy?
