Hello,

sorry to reply that late and out of list, but I seem to miss your mail. The=
 funny thing
is that this extension basically wraps just xlib which is easiert with ruby=
-ffi.

Since you are interested in a wm with ruby, I would like to suggest you my =
projekt:

http://unexist.scrapping.cc/projects/subtle

A wm written in C but with a strong integration of ruby.

Wbr, Christoph
