Well, that's ok, you're running the show of course. I didn't know about 
string freeze, is there a public release schedule anywhere?
At least it was a good little exercise with xfwm4 code for me ;-)
One thing I'd like to know: what exactly are the criteria for an option 
to be "obviously" in the gui? Only the number of people who would use 
it? I had the impression that a bunch of people did second the request. 
Maybe some would use it if they knew it was there... ;-)

I had another feature request, the "taskbar app menu" thing (see thread 
in general discussion list). That's not implemented yet, is it? Jasper 
wrote: "The reason it's not there is simply that no-one has done the 
work to implement it". So if I had a look into this, will it have a 
chance of being included some time (4.3 CVS/4.4)? It's just not that 
satisfying writing code that never gets implemented.
