Re: is there a user mailing list/group for StumpWM?

Hi Szos,

thank you for the long response.  Unfortunately, it's not quite detailed
enough for me to actually figure out how to do what you suggest.

So, I have tried (by eval-ing)

(setf dynamic-group-master-layout :right)

and nothing changes in terms of behaviour.  New windows appear on the
left.  I did create another dynamic group after that setting in case it
only applied to new groups.  I also tried :right in case I had things
backward.

I'm obviously missing something simple...

If I try executing (in the : prompt)

change-default-layout :right

I get told that there is no such layout.  Save with change-layout.

dynamic-group-head-layout is not known, either as a method or a
variable.  Again, I'm probably missing something trivial...

Please do and thanks for your patience!

PS -I will explore the source code some more in case that gives me
pointers.

PPS - for the record, I am running StumpWM from git up to date today.
