They're really not so eccentric (except maybe for the Dvorak
bits), I just think that the scripts bundled with wmii should
have more or less the same default, partly for consistency and
partly so users won't be afraid to try them. Plus, when i was
testing your script, I was a bit shocked by the splash of blue,
and then I couldn't actually do anything with they keyboard.

I really don't mind maintaining my patches separately, though.
Hg can push and pull git repos, and it's easy to keep mq patches
in sync with upstream. Plus, some of my changes don't make sense
except when the script is distributed with wmii. Searching
$WMII_CONFPATH, for instance. Having the string interpolation
patch upstream certainly makes things easier, though. As for MPD
integration, I think it's a good idea, but I really don't want
to include that kind of applicaiton-specific support with wmii.

Thanks, I'll look it over and merge it before the next tarball.
I do need to update the color scheme a bit, though. The warning
and error tuples were just a quick kludge.

What, no Colmac? ;)
