by any chance, did you happen to read this bug report?

yesterday's messages omitted.

there are some other messages, sent before, documenting the progress
of the changes and giving testing example.

pps: i'm reading the IRC logs and I see someone is complaining because
I would be experimenting with his/her window manager, and that I
should keep my stuff in a private repository.

from http://code.haskell.org/~dons/irc/xmonad/2008-01-29.txt:

09:26:29 <arossato> still no comments/feedback on the new code I proposed...
...

19:40:10 <arossato> sjanssen dons: did you have a look at my code?
19:41:25 <sjanssen> arossato: a little bit.  Feel free to push it to the mainline any time
19:42:02 <dons> yeah, seriously, if you've considered it well, and it only affects config stuff, and you know its not going to break things, go ahead.
19:42:07 <arossato> sjanssen: I've just sent the LayoutCombinator class, with PerWorkspace ported to it.
19:42:42 <arossato> dons: it is going to make everything A LOT safer
19:43:38 <sjanssen> arossato: I think the way forward is to push it into the mainline -- we can start collecting bug reports (if any exist)
19:43:49 <sjanssen> and it will prod me a bit more to take a closer look :)
19:43:58 <dons> its a good time to push too.
19:44:07 <dons> do it now, and we'll have 4-6 weeks to sort it all out.
19:45:15 <arossato> I'm going to push within a hour (after dinner)

...

20:00:51 <arossato> droundy: the LayoutCombinator class is quite an
interesting beast... I was able to implement PerWorkspace in a few
lines... to be explored, definitely!

...

20:04:41 <arossato> pushed!

have a nice day!
