Not much doing on xhippo at the moment; I released 2.6 and haven't yet had any bug reports, except for one guy who wanted playlist editing (which was the next thing I was going to work on, so that's all right).
jschauma, the reason you can't copy and paste from links is because it enables mouse support in the xterm it's running in. You need to hold down shift while selecting/pasting text, and then it'll work.
harvey, I've done an IRC bot in Python. You can grab the source here, or talk to it (aybot) in IRCnet #darknet.de.
Tried KDE 1.92 last night. I still don't like it. Back to aewm.
