There are only 2 1/2 users complaining because it's still only in svn.
If you release this, it will become a swarm. We get a swarm from a bug
with aMSN's system tray icon, which most people can't even reproduce,
and nobody can reproduce consistently. I think a whole lot more people
use MPlayer in the first place, and they'll definitely notice when
their core window manager settings stop working. Remember when it
happened with just the gl2 driver?

I'm asking you to stay out of my living room because you're not
invited. Don't forget, however, that I do have a shotgun. I've already
written the patch to fluxbox that rejects your flimsy little configure
requests. I'm here arguing because I care about high quality software,
and I don't want you to make this mistake.

But I don't expect any of you to listen for me. Fluxbox has a
reputation in some circles of non-compliance with standards, but I've
been working hard to change that (both the compliance and the
reputation). If I find an expert in the area of the ICCCM, EWMH, and
client-window manager interactions (say, from gnome or kde), would you
consider his input sincerely?
