Subject: [PATCH 0/2] introduce xfce4-i3-workspaces-plugin
Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2025 23:00:23 +0100

Some people combine experience of i3wm together with comfort of Xfce4. As Xfce
is modular, it is well possible to replace standard Xfce4's window manager
with i3. Xfce4's workspace module on panel is not working nicely with i3 so
there is reimplemented plugin tailored to i3wm.

This patchset introduces xfce4-i3-workspaces-plugin and i3ipc-glib library as
its dependency to communicate with i3wm.

Tomáš Čech (2):
  gnu: Add i3ipc-glib
  gnu: Add xfce4-i3-workspaces-plugin

Hello, things other than xfce4-dev-tools should go into inputs, since
native-inputs is only for things running during build.

Not for running i3 window manager, maybe "Xfce panel workspace switcher plugin for the i3 window manager"
> +    (description

Description should be a full sentence, maybe "This package provides a
workspace switcher panel plugin for Xfce, which ...".

Could you send an update, thank you!
