Re: ratpoison-1.4.9-rc2

Hi Mathieu,

Thank you for the explanation! I simplified the script I use to handle my
monitor setup (it already used xrandr) to not do restarts anymore and it
seems to work. I'm running 1.4.9-rc2 right now on my main machine and will
report back in a couple of days.


Kind regards,
Joren
