Can you get in touch with me (landry -.- xfce -.- org) , to avoid
duplicating efforts ? I took over maintenance recently and fixed
various things in OpenBSD support, so i'd be glad to integrate your
patches.. provided that it doesn't break the existing code. What did
you take as basis work your work ? 0.5.4 release ? svn ?
In the meantime i'll try to have a look at your patches/distfile.
