Also I would like to discuss some ideas. E.g., the mod_xinerama should
be thrown away and replaced by mod_xrandr. Also the functionality should
be split into two independent parts: mod_xrandr itself should be able
just to provide informations from xrandr in some 'general' way, as well
as the hooks for watching changes.
The code that sets up the screens should be IMHO lua script, that just
uses the information provided by mod_xrandr. The windowmanager will be
more customizable this way, and there will be no loss in performance as
the script will be executed on startup and on screen setup change.
 
I'd also mention the only patch I submited (It is not well programmed
as I had little time). That patch changes the way of dividing the
space between tab labels from "equal lengths" to "divide by needs".
I.e., if you have two tabs, one titled "xterm" and second titled
"The web page with a long title - Firefox", then the second tab gets
more space, and both will be not truncated. (The algorithm is more
complex, but it is well described in the mail I sent to the list.)
 
I can clean up and resubmit the patch once the repository will be up.

I am really happy to see some movement in notion list. I didn't change to 
notion from ion because I didn't see any kind of movement.
I hope that this trend is staying.
Cheers,
