Now that IS excessive. I admit I've been pretty easy going on the
feature creap. But I'm afraid extending the defbarloc just because X
decided to define NORTH, SOUTH, etc. is ridiculous. That IS bloat
because it doesn't add anything useful. I don't like the name change
either since it has nothing to do with X11 window gravity.
I am willing to hear an argument for it, but don't expect me to give
in easily :)
