Letting `Walkin' and `Phone' work with an empty field was an policy
decision Matthew and I made, because it made it less likely that
people would punt altogther if they're busy, and it was easier to
code. Convince us otherwise (probably won't be hard)
There should defiantely be a quit button. This is something I started
adding myself, but then I got stuck trying to figure out intelligent
resize handling in tk. I haven't found any yet. :-(
We thought about it and couldn't come up with any good reason to log
usernames or hostnames. Convince us otherwise if you like.
Putting `Clear' in the top-level window makes some sense, but I've
never minded it where it is now.
Further comments:
In addition to not handling resize correctly (or even close) it
doesn't handle monochrome displays very well.
I remain unconvinced that the `date' is worthwhile, since it has to
run /bin/date. If we turned over the logfiles periodically (nightly?)
we'd have most of what we wanted (but not all, I admit). Comments?
