---------------------

== Rule Evaluation
-- Tip:
This is a bit unsharp. It does not seem clear to me that rules are  
processed up to the first matching rule, ie. that if you have a blind rule  
to eg. place windows centered (what is a dumb idea, since there's a legal  
setting, just stressing the point here) that does no break other rules  
below in the chain, eg. the focus prevention for xv or to keep certain  
windows on top etc, while their window matching strategy is much stricter.


== Window Matching
-- Exact Match - case insensitive.
-- Substring Match - case insensitive.
This is imho error prone, my first (mis)read was "one's sensitive, the  
other not"
This the case insensitivity is common i'd not point it for each strategy  
but note that as a tip or below or whatever and omit the description,  
unless ppl. need to be told what a substring is ;-)

-- Regular Expression
please link here -> http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qregexp.html

== Parameters
"If the rule has not other attributes set, the rule is deleted."
                                                              ^ "than apply  
initially and force temporarily"

== Size & Position
"Ignore requested geometry
  Toggle whether to accept or ignore the window's requested geometry and  
ignore the global placement strategy."
->
"Toggle whether to accept or ignore the window's requested geometry. If a  
window requests a geometry and that request is accepted (default) the  
placement strategy is not invokes."
Or sth. like this.

"Obey geometry restrictions
  Toggle whether to adhere to the window's requested aspect ratio."
... "and base increment, ie. the amount of pixels by that the window can  
minimally be resized usually (1,1)" - or explain a base increment size  
better ;-)

== Appearance & Fixes
"Ignore global shortcuts
  Toggle whether to ignore global shortcuts while the window is active."
                                                                             ^  
"such as defined in kcmshell4 keys" or similar, so ppl. know what a global  
shortcut is

"Window type
  Change the window to another type and inherit the characteristics of that  
window:"

"Warning: use with care., eg. splash screens are closed by KWin when you  
click them."


------------------

Otherwise many thanks for taking this burden upon you, the interview was a  
great way to get "weird developers X11/NETWM oriented talk" into human  
language - anytime again.


Cheers,
Thomas
