[TCLCORE] CFV: TIP#359 "Extended Window Manager Hint Support"

[Joe E. <jen...@fl...>]

I know it's late in the beta cycle to be adding new features,
but this is an important TIP.  X11 window managers are getting
wackier (See: compiz), and lack of support for EWMH window
type hints seriously degrades the usability of Tk apps under
newer desktop environments.  Discussion has died down and
everyone concerned is happy with the current TIP.

So please vote YES on

TIP#359 "Extended Window Manager Hint Support"

by [clock format 1263412800], which is sometime next week.

Furthermore: although the established policy is to not
add new features on the stable and legacy branches, as
mentioned above this is an important TIP, so I would
also propose:

TIP#359 Addendum (a):

    The features of TIP#359 shall be backported to the 8.5 branch
    and included in the next maintenance release.

TIP#359 Addendum (b):

    The features of TIP#359 shall be backported to the 8.4 branch
    and included in the next maintenance release, should there be one.


My votes:

TIP#359: YES.
TIP#359 Addendum (a): YES.
TIP#359 Addendum (b): YES.
