Re: [STUMP] questions

Well, thanks anyway. I like the programmability even if it's a 
distraction. I'm having tons of fun, just connecting to the lisp image 
from within emacs and messing with it! If stumpwm really still doens't 
support ttf,  perhaps someday I'll find the time to take a look and see 
if I can fix it myself.

By the way, I have no idea about stumwm's status of development. I see 
there have been very recent posts to the mailing list, but the website 
says the last release was in 2010. Is it still maintained?
