it can. it's removed from HEAD. we'll see.

jor and tor are two different things. That's why tor is shipped in a separated module, of
course we could merge them, but I thought that the different things they do should be
honorerd with two different commands. I also think that's more intuitive. One thing could
be a base-function with jor and tor-wrappers.

Of course that's much better.

Nope.

I knew that... but It was late yesterday when I wrote it and I seem to forgot that. ^_^;

Attached is a version, which adds (and makes use of) a new "exit-leave" window-matcher.
We could manually do window-put in the before-add-window-hook, but a window-matcher saves
some lines of code and does the same.

copy-paste from jor.

done.

sound unintuitive. Well, same for toggle. But as soon as people know what the function
does, toggle is better I believe.

Too bad. I "fixed" it by making the panel smaller and moving it into the part of my screen
which is already covered by pager. Something like that would be nice, though.

I know. Window-Rules UI is not perfect, we should use plain checkbuttons rather than
checkbutton + button with ugly label. I'll check this.

They should be OK.
