Go ahead, read it... it's quite simple, I think.

I do not understand the issue. Can you be more verbose on this issue?

The xauth token is one for each X server running....

I would like to keep the daemon out of 'running the program'. That should be
the lib's dutty, IMO. The less we need network communication the better, I
think.

I don't know about the timezone of the other subscribers, but I believe it
is much better discussing here, as we will have a log and we can refer to
the list archives as needed.

Also, there are no 'tasks'... we need a code base to start working and everyone
can do whatever they want to help with.
