Hey, no worries. =) I'm actually quite willing to grab the development
code and rework it for the new version, so given I have time I'll work on
that tomorrow. I'm also working on an FvwmForm patch to offer a timeout
feature where you can say "time this out after 10 seconds, after which
time perform X command (which in my case I'm using this for a 'are you
sure you want to logout?' window where if they don't respond after X
seconds, it'll go ahead and log them out) and have some sort of display of
how much time is left. Has FvwmForm changed a lot in the new tree?
Should I also develop that against the new one?
Well, we'll see. I might look at the layout tomorrow and decide to wait
a few weeks after all. =)
