[Wsmanager-devel] Couvert?

[Kevin B. <ke...@sb...>]

I just downloaded the latest arch source and found the new Couvert 
feature. This is really bizarre. Can somebody please explain it to me? 
It displays all windows on the screen at once, and after 4 seconds 
switches to the next workspace and restores the windows. What's the 
point? It's not particularly impressive (because the whole setup seems 
kind of arbitrarily placed on screen - all my windows show up in the 
lower-left quadrant of the screen, and all the desktop icons and such 
still looking normal just make this look strange. Can't you at least 
fade out the desktop icons and dock and such?). Also, I cna click on a 
shrunken window and it activates, but that doesn't actually *control* 
anything. At first I was hoping it was like you click on a window and 
it activates that desktop and brings that window forward, but that's 
not it. It just sits there for 4 seconds and then goes to the next 
desktop.

Is this a work in progress? If so, where's it going? If it's done, can 
somebody please explain the point?

Also, please stop sucking up new hotkeys without providing a way to 
turn hotkeys off. I have no need for a fast desktop creation hotkey (at 
least, not without a way to remove said fast desktops without going to 
Preferences), yet I can't turn it off. The best I could do was set all 
modifiers to true and setting the key to F12.
