Yep - my comments/suggestions - 

"Better integration with Window Maker of app icons, miniwindows, docking
etc."
"Reasonable X policy for people not using Window Maker"

These two are quite high priority and probably should be scheduled for
June.


About the NSText stuff - 

The outstanding entry in my TODO for NSText was - fixing the NSClipView
and NSScrollView so that the scrolling works 100% without ever messing up
the display - and with a reasonable understanding of why it works. :-)

This task was completed - at least I hope so! :-) - I have no notice of
any scrolling related bug in the current gui - *and* the scrolling code
was reviewed and part of the engine rewritten *and* the comments in
NSClipView should make clear exactly why it works - no gray areas.

At this point, it is possible to start working on the layout manager code.

As a matter of fact IMO the next big entry in the TODO list is - rewrite
the layout manager code - I mean the code laying out the text.  The other
thing is testing the glyph code which Richard wrote, play with it, then
enable it by default.  Also, we need to understand how to correctly
generate glyphs from unichars, and put that in place.

"NSTypeSetter is documented but needs code." Let's remove this entry as I
am not sure we will use NSTypeSetter at all.

"Make sure moving the cursor works." --> Already Done! - but of course the
layout manager drawing stuff needs to be rewritten so this could need
fixing again :-)

For December, you could also schedule `Dragging columns in the
NSTableView'.  I think the NSTableView needs quite some work to be working
really well - so you may add something like `Testing and Improving the
NSTableView' for June.

Perhaps, we should implement the NSOutlineView.  I would enjoy this but I
need understanding how the NSOutlineView works - and I should finish the
text system first :-).  Anyway, it's a task, so perhaps would you add
`Implement the NSOutlineView' for December.

For June, why not adding the ColorPanel as a standalone entry.  I think
Fred has been working on it so we can probably make it for June.
