I get no response so far so don't know if i should commit the patch.
In the original mail was some more questions...
Can someone have a look at the patch again?


Additionally i have some questions and remarks about the
BirthdayRequester:

1. YAM use the MSG_AB_BirthdayReq like:
Today, %s reaches age %ld.\n\

it would be nice if we could add the date for today like:
Today on %ld, %s reaches age %ld.\n\

because the user may see the requester some days after the requester
is poped up. So he can decide if it's make sense to send a birthday
mail.

Is it ok if i add the date to the Requester body?


2. YAM doesn't show the requester if YAM is iconified but it would be
nice if the user see such requester also when YAM is iconified or
mean iconified show no requester from the app at all?
How is it possible to show a requester for an iconified app without
uniconify the app itself?
We could use SafeOpenWindow() so the user sould get a DisplayBeep() if
the requester could not opened. But such beep can come form many
programs and the user doesn't know that YAM does the beep and why.
He also must be able to hear the beep which is for sure not always the
case.


3. I would like to fullfill the request in ticket #16
(Starting YAM more than one time the day is anoying, since YAM
"reminds" me everytime it is started. A button "not today" would be
nice.)

I think it's possible to arcive that if we add a checkbox to the
requester and if the user doesn't want to see such requester today
again we save it in a file e.g. 'PROGDIR:.Birthdaycheck' in the
format:

Username1: [Date] 
Username2: [Date]
...

and before we try to open the requester we check that file if the
current user want to see such requester again today.


4. Sould we set the MUIA_Window_ID attribute for the requesterwindow?
If we do it the user can save the position of the window and the
window should open on the saved position next time.


Sorry for so much questions but i want to make the Birthday Requester
better as now. Some of the questions could be rated as feature request
but i hope i get the answer here instead of a ticket.
