        Hi;

        This looks wrong to me:

/etc/skel/.waimearc should be a file, which is a copy of
<waimea-src>/data/waimearc.example
/etc/skel/.waimea should be the name of the dir with
the other config heirarchy in it.
In the installed /etc/skel/.waimea[rc]/actions/ dir, action.sloppy-focus is
a link to a non-existant file. Rather,
.waimea/actions/action should be a link to action.sloppy-focus
(if sloppy-focus is to be the default)
Paul

ps. (this is based on the README installed with the package, and the man
page. I have already unmerged this wm, so I cannot claim to speek with
any authority on it.)

This is the last time I follow README instructions ;)

CONFIGURATION

You can run Waimea without doing any of these configuration steps but you are
then stuck with the default configuration  options. If  you  wish to  have  your
 own  user configuration, do the following steps. 

Create a '.waimea' directory structure in your home directory.
mkdir ~/.waimearc
mkdir ~/.waimearc/actions
mkdir ~/.waimearc/styles

Copy default data files into directory structure.

I just assumed they were right in their code, seems not. Will fix.

Thanks for reporting this : )
