Happily using 3.6-rc2 here, without issue, but I noticed something minor.

With the way the wmiir wrapper is currently written, it leaves /bin/sh
running while ixpc does its thing. Not a great issue most of the time,
but little bits add up with things such as the event loop.
Fortunately, this is easily fixed by changing wmiir to as follows:

#!/bin/sh
exec ixpc -a "$WMII_ADDRESS" $@

Just a suggestion.
