window cycling that I would like to copy. (The little
popup window thing.)
- People seem to like shortcuts using arrow keys for moving
between workspaces. My only question here is that I'm not sure
what the spatial relationship between workspaces is.
(Are they in a grid, or a horizontal row, or what.)
I think we may need a window manager spec extension to
share this information between the WM and the pager.
We could add left/right arrow and pretend they're in
a row for the short term though.
- Should Metacity support flipping in right-to-left locales?
I don't know what window managers look like in a right-to-left
locale. I assume the window titles should be right-justified;
