First off, I have to say, I was sooooo happy to see a version of WOLK
for 2.6. I'd used WOLK at v3-v4.5, but moved off it to play around with
2.6. I just recently got a new laptop (IBM t40) with all kinds of
interesting features on it that really need 2.6 to work properly, so I'm
really glad I can put WOLK on it. 

I've been running version 2.2 since it was released and must say, for
the most part, it's been outstanding. Quite fast, very stable. I have
two gripes/requests though, neither of which are a big deal.

1. Any possibility of systrace support? I know it was in WOLK v4 and
it'd be great to have it again. There's a patch for kernel 2.6.1 here:
http://monkeymail.org/archives/systrace/2004-January/000027.html ,
though it doesn't apply completely cleanly to WOLK-2.2. From looking at
it, I *think* it's just offset errors etc, but I really don't know
enough about programming and the kernel specifically to be able to tell.

2. I don't know if this is a WOLK specific thing or not, but
suspend-to-disk hasn't been working for me on v2 or 2.2. I've been able
to get it working on various vanilla, -mm and gentoo-dev kernels, but
it's a finicky proposition with a bunch of variables. I'm gonna try and
spend some more time today working with it to see if it really is a WOLK
issue, I'll report back the results.

Thanks again for all your great work!
