Hi Sasha,

Excerpts from Sasha's message of Fr Feb 05 18:41:18 +0100 2010:

Moral of story: do not put i3-msg commands in the config file,
because they get executed before the socket is created.
This is not intended behaviour, but the current state of code. Please
create a ticket at http://i3.zekjur.net/bugs/ and I will have a look
at this issue in a few days.

While patches are generally welcome, the immediate patch for this one
is trivial, but I would rather think some more about a better way for
the order in which auto-start is executed, ipc-socket is created and
the processing of events starts. So, if you are not so much into C
and libev, I would not recommend this one to you as a first patch ;-).

Best regards,
Michael
