I'm just a long-term user but I do think it would be useful to add the
feature if it doesn't disrupt anything else.

In particular EWMH support seems to be needed for sensible integration
with the arbtt task tracker.

Similar issues apply to xmonad, which *does* have an EWMH extension
(but it needs to be turned on to work with arbtt):

Lincoln's circa 2010 code adding EWMH support to RP is here, but I
couldn't immediately get the code in this repo to build.

Hi Joe, thanks for summoning me from the past. I rebased my code on top of the last commit from master. It's available here:

  https://github.com/clarete/ratpoison/tree/ewmh

Also, thanks a lot for referencing arbtt, I really needed something like that. I'll see if I can fit that into my workflow!

Cheers & Happy Holidays,
