Ok, thanks a lot.

Ok, that's what I've done :)

And I've seen your last hack but I have no time to test it this week-end.

I don't know what you plan to add in stumpwm, but I'd like to add some
little stuff :

- A maximize/minimize current frame so the current frame pop-up to
  maximize-x, maximize-y, maximize-width, maximize-height. And
  vice-versa.

- A save layout as the emacs windows register so you can switch from a
  view to another. I think this can be done by saving each frames (x,
  y, width, heigth) and each window number in each frames. Or maybe a
  better way is to save *screen-list*.

- Maybe a way to place a frame at x,y, width, height (but this break
  the stumpwm philosophie and I'm not sure it's a good idea).

- A way to select window/frame with keyboard up/down or with the
  mouse. (this can be simply an dialog window with all frames/windows).

I can hack some of this stuff if you want.


For now, I've add a little command to select a window by number but
with the windows list displayed (I just move the window list a little
below the input dialog). You can find this stuff here if you're
interested :

PS: I've tested the last hack with clisp and cmucl. All works fine
with cmucl but I can't compile it with clisp. I got this :

-- clisp load.lisp --
;;  Loading file /home/phil/local/stumpwm-cvs/stumpwm-cvs/stumpwm/user.fas ...
*** - POSITION-IF: :START should be an integer >=0, not NIL

The following special variables were defined too late:

PPS: Also stumpwm crash when I use links2 in graphic mode (problems
with geometry-hints).
