Automatically populating full-screen wm.

In brainstorming phase currently.

design philosophy

Everything should open full-screen, and new programs spawn a new workspace.
As a client is closed/killed, the array of workspaces should index and collapse existing workspaces.
Ctrl+Tab should allow cycling through workspaces.

todo

Everything. :D

1. Create function and implement main loop to hold XDisplay open.
2. Spawn a single program (probably a terminal) via keycommands.
3. Create a clean kill of wm.
4. At this point, implement virtual workspaces to conform to design concept.
5. Bloat it up.

baconwm's Issues

Use XCB

I can't seem to post on /dev/ (perhaps I don't have enough posts?).

I think that using XCB is a good idea, it is a far more modern library than XLib and has some rather nice features for writing window managers (xcb_ewmh and xcb_icccm).
