It shouldn't. That generates a RightBarDND event, which wmiirc
and rc.wmii ignore.

When regex tags are supported (soon), it will be possible.

It should stay in the front of non-dock-type windows. That, I
did test.

They must specify a window group. I got tired of opening apps
only to have new windows pop up on whatever view I'm working on.
The rox command must tell a central process to launch a new
window, and use the same group. I'll think about accommodating
this with tag rules.

They work for me...

I'll look into it.

It's not necessary anymore. Just define the functions. The only
issue is that you can't unbind keys very easily.
