Excellent.
/me reads WM spec
Ok, (x, y, width, height), one per workspace.  Got it.

I can understand a vertical vs. horizontal layout pref, but I don't
think it makes sense to support the others, with one exception: if the
locale is set to a rtl language, then do the layout from the top right
instead of top left.  But that's not really a pref; it'll just Do The
Right Thing.

Yeah, right now it does 48x48 icons for screens with a width of >1024
pixels, and... I think 24x24 for 1024 and below.  That could certainly
use some tweaking, and maybe more sizes, but fortunately that's trivial
to change.

Hah, right.  Seriously though, I'll probably implement some kind of
flashing for URGENT windows.

Good to hear ^_^.
