every other window manager since twm.
The event layer is very nice, very shiny, very flexible, and very much
underutilised. We don't need any of those shiny features so it's
probably better to earn ourselves 1k smaller text size instead.

using Xft(3), use it to select the font color as well instead of trying
to build one; properly allocate and free colors at-will, e.g. we now
have configurable colors.

display and moves it to another group. useful with the recently added
"grouponly" function, giving the ability to use groups as simple
virtual desktops (similar to e.g. xmonad, dwm and scrotwm).
this doesn't have default keyboard bindings; cwmrc(5) now shows how
you could use these functions (use M-1...9 for grouponly1...9 and
MS-1...9 for movetogroup1...9 to emulate the default dwm bindings).
ok oga@
you change to a different group and the mouse isn't over a window; previously
the border of the previously active window was highlighted but it didn't
actually have focus.
reads ok to oga@.
This works like the group select binding, but hides all other groups.
So, the people who've been complaining that they don't get "virtual
desktops" in cwm may want to try this out in cwmrc (from memory, untested):
---
#cwmrc
# add new windows to the current group
set sticky
# automatically sticky windows. xclock for now.
# to make more windows sticky use group_toggle to unset their group
autogroup 0 xclock
# make the group selection keys hide other groups, emulate virtual desktops
