Config for Qtile
Qtile is a very nice, hackable tiling window manager written and configured in Python.
Config is tested on Qtile 0.8.0.
If You focuse a new window Qtile place the cursor in the middle of it.
If You maximize an secondary pane it expands to its full available size in vertical and horizontal.
Window name based floating rules.
If You have some experimental changes and You are not shure if it works You want to see what is Qtile printing and what Tracebacks it raises.
'debug' is a shell-script that starts Qtile in another x-server (as user).
To make this work You have to set allowed_users=anybody in /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config.
