Ah, you meant end cap literally :-)
I had hoped for a patch that solves the problem of a deskbar going over
the full screen height and beyond when there are too many running apps
or open windows.

IMO the patch just adds a bit of clutter with little purpose. I
wouldn't like to add it, and I hope it's not too disappointing for you.

Bye,
   Axel.

As I said it was very minimal.  I think it adds definition to the bar.  I
guess you wouldn't be interested in my other change.  It was a hack to round
the edges of the replicant area.  I wont even bother with a patch for that
one.  But the problem you desribe above sounds like an interesting
challange.  I'm not promising anything but I would like to look into that :)
