patch: give WindowNavigation an empty description

Hi all, The WindowNavigation layout modifier was using the default "show" as its description, leading to a lengthy mess when displaying the current layout (using e.g. DynamicLog). This patch changes the description to be empty, the reasoning being that I know whether I'm using WindowNavigation or not and don't need to see it in front of the layout. I've also included a small change to LayoutModifier so that an extra space is not added before the layout description when the modifier description is empty. -Brent

Thanks for the contribution! I've pushed a somewhat modified patch, which changes the default for layout modifiers to be an empty description. I don't see where this could hurt, and doubt that the show instance was ever what was wanted. -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University

Great! That was one of the things on my wishlist. Thanks for that (to both of you) :-) -- Christian Thiemann mail@christian-thiemann.de
