+Subject: [PATCH] Add -g option to display entries in the given number of grid
+ columns
+
+This option can be used in conjunction with -l to format dmenu's options in
+arbitrary size grids. For example, to create a 4 column by 6 line grid, you
+could use: dmenu -g 4 -l 6

+grid
+====
+This patch allows you to render dmenu's entries in a grid by adding a new
+`-g` flag to specify the number of grid columns. You can use `-g` and `-l`
+together to create a G columns * L lines grid.
+
+This can help save screenspace over the default, 1 column, behavior of `-l`.
