[FIXES]
TIMED RELOGIN
SUPPORT FOR CUSTOMIZING the "logging in..." and such like messages (in theme).
- Some command line options should migrate to config file...
[GUI]
- Make qingy remember num lock status when entering DirectFB mode.
- Add a combo box to select between X server layouts.
- Make applets possible... A mix of shared modules and window managing :P
Maybe we could even port wmaker dockapps... just a dream of mine ;-)
- Make it possible to use e.g. mng files for animated images, for example for
background and the like.
- Add a timeout (with fading) to the mouseover effect
- graphical configuration tool...
- Add support for a Win XP style login box...
- Add an option in theme file to select wether
background image should be centered, scaled or tiled...
- Add support for multiline text labels...
- allow for linkings elements together, so that when you mouse over
one of them, all get the mouseover effect...
window {
id = pippo
...
}
window {
id = pluto
mouseOver.linkTo = "pippo"
}
[DOC]
- Update ALL documentation as it is severely outdated
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Allow user to log into remote systems, also with xdmcp...
- support some graphics toolkits other than DirectFB
- Support for scripting things...
- support also the /dev/vc* in spite of /dev/tty*
- Add support for setting the LANG enviroment variable...
- Add an option to force user to select on a given list of allowed users on given ttys...
- Make qingy really start on one tty and fake its presence on the others...
this would reduce memory usage, making it seem quicker at the same time.
- $$$ (huge but interesting blurb)
- Add drop down menu to chose between available X screen/resolutions...

$$$
when i log in as myself (non-root) with qingy, xinit seems to be run as root,
meaning that the system xinitrc file is used (eg. for XFCE /etc/xfce/xinitrc)
rather than the user xinitrc (eg. $HOME/.xfce4/xinitrc). i noticed this because
i use XFCE4 and changes to my xinitrc file were ignored by qingy but not when
starting xfce4 from console, instead qingy uses the /etc/ version, which is used
if $HOME/.xfce4/xinitrc can't be found (which implies that $HOME is not being
found under qingy) i know i can get round this by using the 'Your xsession'
option for logging in, but that means i have to manually set the window manager
etc in the .xsession file and cannot choose to use another one (i also use fluxbox)
via qingy if i want my $HOME session files to be used am i right in thinking that
qingy is executing xinit as root, and if so is this a bug or a feature?
how can i get qingy to use the logged-in-user's env for executing xinit etc?
