The thing I'm most missing from ratpoison and wmii is an external api, which makes them extensible from external programs (and any language.) Executing "ratpoison -c <ratpoison-command>" issues the command to the running ratpoison instance.
A follow up, with respect to my previous message. This is what these patches are going to do. but they require a modifications to Main.hs and Config.hs and I don't think they will be allowed in the main tree. Still here they are...;-) By the way, by applying the first patch to XMonads and the second one to XMonadContrib you'll get the possibility to send to XMonad, from the command line, the same commands available in the Commands module. The utility to send those commands is included: sendCommad.hs (ghc --make sendCommand.hs -o sendCommand). You need to follow the instruction of ServerMode.hs. And the: sendCommand view3 or sencCommand shift8 etc. As you see this is the very equivalent of XMonadContrib.Commands. As I said before, just for fun in this hot Italian afternoon. Andrea
