true - you haven't disappeared. but i distrinctly rememeber you telling me -
and everyone else on #edevelop at the time that you have taken ona  lot of
extra things in your life and dont/wont have the time. the fact that peolpe say
"hey - entrance pops up the login box between my 2 xinerama screens" and have
for over a year or more, and nothing has been done to improve it - along with
other things like x respawn loops (x starts then shuts down - repeatedly in a
loop), detecting existing system sessions at all (currently entrance ASSUMES
them) etc. etc. etc.

so you sit back - act as graddaddy - people can ask you for help/info but you
dont actively develop on it.  if there is to be a release - the guy(s) WORKING
on it should call that shot - if you are one of them, them you are also one of
those guys calling the shots.

why not also try and encourage them maybe to do even more? like take over
development. generally people writing patches have enough interest to do that
already - might have interest to do more.
