  * Add Decoration, a layout modifier and a class for easily adding decorations to layouts
As I said I'm working on a new decoration framework, in order to make
it easy to add decorations to layouts.

Here you can find some screenshots:

Below you'll find an example of configuration.

Right now the code is still under development, but I just wanted to
share the idea.

In the next days I'll clean it up, especially Decoration.hs, but if
you have any idea, bug reports or whatever please let me know.

This code requires the patch I sent tonight to add an emptyLayout
method to the LayoutClass.

Cheers,

Andrea

the config sample: The first is the old tabbed layout, the second is a
dwm-like decoration (I never used it so I just followed others'
suggestions) with the default layout hook. The third one a simple
decoration with Circle.
