Before adding the port, I looked at x11/bricons and assumed that x11 was
the traditional place for such things. A closer look turns up four
similar ports:
- x11-wm/9menu
- x11/wmbutton
- x11/bricons
- misc/asbutton
The www/en/ports/categories file says:
"x11", "X Window System based utilities.",
[...]
"x11-wm", "X Window System Window Managers.",
Since portoseguro isn't a window manager (doesn't use functions such as
XGetWMColormapWindows, XGetWMHints, XGetWMNormalHints, or
XGetWMProtocols), I still feel that it doesn't belong in x11-wm. I know
that many window managers have a similar function, but so does
x11-fm/workplace, for example (some window managers have clocks, yet we
have an x11-clocks category). It's really a graphical, menuing shell IMO.
There aren't any X11 programs in the shells category, but flash is vaguely
similar. :)
