- From the website:
"If we ever are to reimplement/port deskbar in/to another lanuage (C, D,
Vala, <favorite language>) this is a list of important things to keep in
mind."

Wow, are you planing to do a re-write?

No, not really. I would *like* to do a rewrite in something that compiles to native code, but my time is extremely limited so I'm not even seriously considering it. It's just that *if* someone would ever want to start on this project there should be a list of gotchas.
 

I add some addition flaws very soon.

Please do. Even though it may be quite a long term investment, I think it will be useful some day.

Cheers,
Mikkel
