Sorry. 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. :) -- Trevor Johnson http://jpj.net/~trevor/gpgkey.txt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
