Blackbox has quickly become a very functional window manager, providing a fast

user interface, but at the loss of very patchy and unsightly code. This file

is provided as an idea of what I plan to include and repair in Blackbox.

Ideas that people suggest are also included, provided they are feasible and

follow the plan I have set for Blackbox. (First item on the todo... fix the

TODO file wording... ick)

Here is a listing of things I would like improved (and plan on improving):

DONE - Since multiple threads share the same environment space, managing

multiple X displays from the same running executable isn't feasible

anymore, because Xlib reads the environment space to determine which

X server to connect to (hint: echo $DISPLAY).

DONE - Code cleanup to reflect the above (session lists and awkward restart

and shutdown functions)

- integrate the BlackboxSession and WorkspaceManager to work around

windows calling session functions which in turn call ws manager

functions (if that sounds awkward... then you understand the reason

for this todo item :)

- make the toolbox do more... possibly drag and drop for starting

applications that set appropriate window hints (ala WindowMaker)

OR

- let toolbox applications be set via the resource configuration files

(favor the first idea)

- bug fixes (provided the little bo0glies show their faces)

- make wire moves, animations and animation stepping part of the

resource configuration instead of compile time operations

More to come...
