'transset issues'

[Thomas Lübking]

Well, that's the great thing about FLOSS, right?
Just take your favourite WM, write a patch (shouldn't be too hard, at least 
not the basical things) and mail it to the maintainer ;)

However, this may last some time, so best thing could be to write a WM that 
can (via NETWM?) run aside the real WM, listen to events (activte, 
deactivate, add of windows) and handle them automatically (alongside a config 
file) - but i'm not sure what restrictions this would cause (besides it 
wouldn't work with non std WMs as long as you can't do a special handling on 
them).
calling "transset 0.75" got annoying after some time and i do hardly belive it 
is used too much :)

Regards,
Thomas
