The problem of integration is present, but now that I think about it, is likely more of an upstream problem than a packaging problem. I guess as more and more things use dbus, integration will become easier. This shouldn't stop anyone putting together a meta-package though, and if it becomes popular enough, it should maybe be added as a task. It would have been nice to have a meta-package for XMonad or i3 that brings you to a "usable" set up when I first started experimenting with tiling window managers, and used that as a starting point with sane defaults which I could then tweak later. I don't currently have the time to do this however, so if no one is eagerly volunteering, I will drop it until I have the time to put something together. Iain. -- urn:x-human:Iain R.
