Hee. I was gonna do that anyway. There's a big difference between an
elegant perl script that draws gtk boxes for data structures (a big
hash, from the sounds of things) in the style of ``make xconfig'' and
an app that lets you specify coordinates by dragging windows around
the screen, though. Dunno. Up to you. It wouldn't be that much code,
and it'd probably be reusable in the new system.

I am! I work with perl and love it to bits, but I'm also a CS/Maths
student and the Evil Powers That Be have given me a year or so of
C courses so far; I'm vaguely happy hacking things like Xlib code
or further, though I tend to annoy by saying "Hey! You could do all
this in ONE LINE OF PERL!" and writing said line way too often. :)

Hum. Mine's fairly pointless, too, but there's one from today at
http://printf.net/shot-cjb.png. Feel free to use if you want to.
I'm off home for a few days. I'll be writing mail but not running/
playing with further.
Thanks,
