Re: AW: AW: AW: Bug in function window-list

Klaus> No, unfortunatelly not ;-) I still don't understand why this is unfortunate. I can understand that you like things orderly. However, the window set has no "natural" order that I can see. Yes, there's this "canonical" order, but mostly I find it annoying. I rarely want to cycle through the windows (back when I had to work on a 132x50 -- I think it was -- terminal I tried using more than 2 windows + minibuffer on several occasions, but I always ended up in the minimal config). Thank heaven for the mouse! Now, suppose that we added functionality that allowed the user to specify the window set and order (as many window managers, eg, sawfish, do). Then anybody who depended on the order being canonical would be upset if we changed that; but users who want the feature would be displeased if we couldn't give them the nice behavior by default. So if you had an immediate, compelling application, I'd be much more sympathetic (although the probable response would be to add a function specifying the order, not to change window-list itself).
