Yes, I'm interested.

Perhaps wmx could have a root menu reflecting the gnome main menu (or
start button)?
Luckily there's source code available for the things you mentioned
above. I think wmx is a better code base than wm2.
Do you intend to split out a new branch of wmx, or just separate the
gnome-related code from the main wmx code with #ifdefs?

Profound Truth differs from simple truth in that the negation of a simple
truth is a simple falsehood, while the negation of a Profound Truth may be
another Profound Truth.
