Thanks, this did the trick. Now that I have two monitors going, I have a
couple other minor feature requests for your consideration:

- Display the entire status bar on each screen. This way, you don't need
	to check a different screen than the one you're using to
	see what tag you're on, or what time it is.

- Switch tag on mouse wheel on the status bar. Just like switching
	with the wheel on the root window, except the status bar is 
	always visible and available.

Sound good?

Cheers,
David

Yes and no: actually the tags are the same on each screen, but this will
change in the future: you'll be able to specify differents tags for
different screens.

Possible, will try to add that for 1.3.

I wanted to suggest something like that as well. I was just thinking
that maybe when scrolling on the tags section of the statusbar, it
should switch tags, and when scrolling the "titletext" of the current
application, it should change clients within the current tag. Not really
that useful on the tile layout with a focus-follow-mouse window manager,
but for "max" layout it would make a lot of sense (and probably also for
possible future layouts).

Good idea, patch pushed too. :)

Great, you're just too fast :)

Then probably the last remaining place where the scrollwheel is missing
is changing the layout, where you have to use left/right click now, but
probably wheel up/down would also make more sense for this? (at least
additionally)?

Thanks for the patch,

Martin

Pushed too.
Also fixed a bug where setlayout with -1 as arg will not cycle back but
keep to the first layout.

awesome 1.3 released, news on the roadmap

Hi,

I just released awesome 1.3. Changelog is available here[1].
The roadmap[2] has been updated as well.

So good news anyone:
There won't be 1.4 version of awesome, except if something wrong arises,
like, say, big bugs or a big giraffe (who knows?).

awesome 1.x series was just a proof to myself and to the world that
another window mangaer can exist without breaking the space-time
continuum and that everything is not lost.

In the next days, I'll break everything and start coding 2.0 version
which will be rewritten with XCB instead of Xlib if everything goes
well. On the other side, if something goes wrong I might switch back to
ncurses, so you want to wish me luck.

The way I see things, features will be added on demand, but the awesome
core first need to be rewritten a little more and switch to bleding-edge
techs instead. Xft was part of the way to go, XCB is another, Cairo
would be a next (if XCB bindings come) and maybe GTK+ would be...
wait for it... no way, just kidding guys!
awesome config file will be also broken, due to the switch to
libconfuse.

Further ideas not planned on the roadmap and not in the bugs are welcome, except
if want awesome to have icons on the desktop.

In the meantime I hope you'll enjoy awesome 1.3.
