I agree with Stefan that an established language like Tcl built into ctwm
would be the way to go for implementing user-defined functions and much more.
I don't really know of any window manager with this capability, but it
definately sounds like a good idea - any volunteers to implement??
And since we're on the subject of improvements for ctwm, how about the
ability to define shortcuts that can reside on the root window as icons like
in Windows 95? When you double-click the shortcut icon, the program defined
for the shortcut is spawned. I must admit I am not a big fan of Microsoft
software, but that is a feauture of Windows 95 that I like. The nice
thing about it is that the programs are not actually running, as is the case
with icons, and therefore are not hogging resources, but are still readily
available to start. Obviously you would have the ability to define the
program to execute and the icon to use for the shortcut, as well as some
control over where it resides on the root window. It seems like shortcuts
would not differ much from icons in behavior.
