I'm using it for ~5 minutes now, seems nice so far :)

I'd really like to be able to make this configurable, and dynamically
allocated. So if I end up using the patch, I wouldn't need to
recompile it for my low-mem boxen.

It would also be nice if it could display which virtual screen I'm
currently on (like the "Virtual Screen 3").

If I have time, I'll try to do this on the weekend, unless you beat me
to it.

(Without reading and understanding the code)

Could it be solved by looping through the vscreen list, and checking
where the window is, and switching there?


Oh! And it didn't apply to current CVS cleanly, there were a few fuzzy
things, and the first hunk of the actions.c patch didn't apply (I
simply inserted the relevant two lines, no biggy). If anyone is
interested, I can post a patch against latest CVS.
