Removing Actions.WmiiAction in favor of Prompt.DirExec
Hello, I've written Prompt.DirExec which implements basically the same functionality like Actions.WmiiActions but uses Prompt instead of dmenu . I plan to purge Actions.WmiiActions from contrib and add Prompt.DirExec. I consider DirExec better than WmiiActions because it doesn't depend on dmenu (which needs patch for xinerama to work properly anyways). I like Prompt better - it's part of contrib and handles xinerama "automagically". If anyone objects against removal of Actions.WmiiActions, please let me know. If there are no objections, I'll send a removal patch soon. Cheers, Juraj PS: Is there any plan to get rid of dmenu completely?

That seems ok with me, though it will break anyone who uses WmiiActions. Perhaps there aren't any users of this module though?

dmenu in general? No, since plenty of people use it. -- Don

No one objected yet. Anyways what we might do is to mark WmiiActions obsolete and remove it when there is a darcs cleanup step performed in contrib. Question is whether there is a "regular" cleanup step happening at all...

Right, the removal of dmenu would be contra productive then :-) -- Juraj

Attached is the darcs patch which adds DirExec module (2 sub-patches) and removes wmii actions (1 sub-patch). -- Juraj
