Fair enough.

Or, as my favourite Josh Lyman line in "The West Wing" goes,
"Ah, the rare valid point."

You say that like it's a bad thing.  ;->

(I'm kidding, I'm kidding.)

> IceWM is a tiny but not maintained WM with a built in panel.

There are codebases where "not maintained" is just another way of saying 
"is a finished, mature product that doesn't need anything else done".
Procmail is the classic example.  I'd venture that IceWM is another.

Concur about dmenu, in that regard.  And thank you for the excellent
