fair enough. I'm not in X too much to worry about it - tis just an
obsrevation from times I am in X (and use wmx =)

more space taken might be a consideration, as for readability - it would
help ALOT. (to try this out, try turning your moniter anticlockwise 90
degrees and reading this email, compared to the following:

l
l
o

W
o
r
l
d

Anyways, I figure right-way-up text compared to sideways text could easily
be another compile-time option. (which I very much like with wmx -
especially since recompiling isn't a particularly lengthy affair... :)
