I am sorry to distract you from maintaining your ego.

Two years ago I had respect for your experience in software and debug‐
ging. But this seems long gone. You are telling me nothing in the last
sentences, except that noone cared for your ego and suckless should
fucking care for you because you are you. Have you really forgotten your
roots and are now a Mac OS X dumbass that wants everything now. IRC is
not for sissies.
Btw. »works (in all of them) just fine« is no fact that gets to any so‐
lution. So forget that kind of argumentation for the rest of your life.
No, it never works and only annoys me to fix your bug.

As said above: You’ve lost your whole experience to dig deeper into
problems. Please try to find back to your old skills and debug down to
X11 why your X11 input method fails to initialize. This might help to
find a better solution than to comment out random functions not directly
connected to the problem.

Tell me. This is suckless and not your Vala or Gtk support forum for
people without any principles.

Thanks for suggesting a better font. Now I can really find out how to
fix this because everyone owns Mac OS X in your small world. No, there
are people that do not own Mac OS X and will never own Mac OS X. Thanks
for wasting my time.

For short: You will never rewrite it because you will never find any
time to do so. But you did it in some obscure language and try to infil‐
trate suckless computers with your shortcomings of C inexperience and
not working time management. Thanks for wasting my time with your bloat.
I really get horny when I see long commandline options.
