Kris, thanks for this script. However, I'm using wmii 3.6 from the
Arch 'extra" repository.

The script doesn't work on my machine. I put "debug" statements in
the CreateClient event, and I get the following:

$client is: Mod4-Return
Tags are:

So, I think that the $tags list isn't being read correctly, because it
doesn't get inside the tags FOR loop.
Therefore, the script never gets inside the IF condition.

Can someone point me in the direction of what kind of data is in the
/client/I can give it a go, but I don't know how the virtual
filesystem is structured.

Thanks,
