Sv: is there a user mailing list/group for StumpWM?

[Szos]

Dynamic-group-master-layout is an accessor, so you need to pass it the group as 
an argument, eg (setf (dynamic-group-master-layout (current-group)) :right) in 
a dynamic group. Im not sure if this is exported so you may need the package as 
a part of the symbol.

After a quick test it seems that the strings Left, Right, Top, and Bottom are 
what the commands i named accept. Eg (in the : prompt) change-layout Right. You 
can also just enter change-layout and then press tab to cycle through the 
available arguments.

Are you in the stumpwm package or the stumpwm-user package? This is a generic 
function defined in the stumpwm package.

If you want to peruse the source you can see the file dynamic-group.lisp. the 
commands begin at line 1050, and the whole implementation of dynamic groups 
exists (almost entirely) within this file.

I hope that clears things up a little, dont hesitate to ask more questions.
