yeah I was messing with names and came up with nothing - though the backend utility junk I'm throwing in a namespace called "phrik" - phrik and phrak... I found it funny 8(
maybe I'll just call it "phrak"... *shrug*, name is unimportant at this stage 8)
come on, branding is everything. I'll help come up with something. The guy that named a virtual pet Buchuki, and two 3D interfaces Lebannen and Ensmer respectively can't be all wrong... Phraktured Windows? Too long... Phrakspot? Phrakenstein? Win3k? PhrakXP? Skripture? pikture? Pillow Fort?
After getting tired of wmii layouts and going back to wmi at home, I started thinking about another wm. I keep coming back to this one:
This one too: http://incise.org/index.cgi/Whimsy
I never saw that one.. I was looking for where the goofs that walked out on Kahakai had gone. I'm going to try that when I get home, maybe hack on it a bit.
I like the idea though... a Window Manager 'object' that can be used to create any number of window managers in python... I also looked at python-xlib... Thought somebody might be interested in the idea.
Yeah, I just don't think python is really up to the task of running a WM - it has the nice little habit of dying and dying hard "whoops, I fucked up - here's you stack trace"... I don't think I'd trust it... but that's just me
On the one hand, yeah, but in the case of pywm, the dangerous code is mostly in a C or C++ object, so python just has to manipulate it -- glue the objects together. As for trusitng wms, I'm the guy that's been using unstable snapshots of wmii... used to crashing. Dusty
