A thought that just now re-occured to me, and something i was playing with several months ago, is the possibility of modifying myDSL in such a way that it is not tied to the window manager, that is it doesn't create a fluxbox menu item which is then converted to a jwm menu item. I haven't worked out a solution that would make a menu item still useable, but I think if it could be done it would make things more convenient both for a tiny DSL core and for those users who want to add or remove window managers. Currently the user still needs .fluxbox/mydsl.menu (i think) even if he's remastered DSL without Fluxbox, and having a generic (non-wm-specific) menu *might* make it easier to include the mydsl menu into an arbitrary window manager.
The main problem with this, apart from the time and effort to modify mydsl, is the existence of a fluxbox-specific menu item in most of the existing extensions. A workable option, though, might be to keep the current fluxbox syntax in the extensions and simply check for the existence of a mydsl.menu file before writing the menu item. Maybe this check is already being done, though.
In any case, it's something to think about if this tiny DSL core is actually put into play at some point. Making DSL easier to strip down will likely result in more people stripping it down =o)
