As a corrolary to this question, which I've been thinking about since reading it, what would it take to get something like SIGWINFOCUS established as a standard signal along with SIGWINCH? Obviously, it would be a way for a terminal application to know when it gains or loses focus in an X environment. Who should one talk to, what kind of code should one write, and where should it go?

EDIT: To be clear, I'm asking who/where/what in the landscape of UNIX software is responsible for how interprocess signals get defined, and what the process might be for creating new ones. I hope that helps and welcome further feedback.

Are you asking how to get code accepted by a community? If so, I don't think this is the place for your question. Can you clarify? – soandos Jul 26 '11 at 18:48
Questions about programming are off-topic for Super User, and your question is also overly broad. If you have questions about how to get involved with a programming project, Programmers might be useful. If you have questions about the actual coding, then Stack Overflow is the right site. In either case, make sure to read the site's FAQ before posting a question, so that it's less likely to be closed like this one. – nhinkle♦ Jul 26 '11 at 19:33
The question I linked to had been migrated to superuser after I responded to it, and mine is the same subject only asking from a different angle. I was seeking some clear precise answers just like other questions are, and I did carefully read the faqs of several stackexchange sites. Despite your uncharitable assumptions, from my perspective the decision to close actually seems less mindful than my decision to post was. I'm not sure how to proceed from here. – T.W Jul 29 '11 at 4:47

Questions on Super User are expected to generally relate to computer software or computer hardware, within the scope defined in the faq.
