Great to hear that you will continue supplying this patch,
because I already prepared dwm-1.9 without the stack
position toggling. Due to several restructurings in the
dwm-1.9 source, your patch will benefit from the
resizecol-improvements, because the master ratio is
remembered now, even if the stack is arranged in different
positions.
