+===== Creating ~/.wmii preferences =====
+<code bash>
+# Boiler plate for Python support
+mkdir ~/.wmii
+cd ~/.wmii
+ln -s /etc/X11/wmii/python/pygmi pygmi
+ln -s /etc/X11/wmii/python/pyxp pyxp
+# Probably want to modify wmiirc.py (only clean way to alter the colours)
+cp /etc/X11/wmii/python/wmiirc.py wmiirc.py
+cp /etc/X11/wmii/python/wmiirc wmiirc

+===== Q: Why don't new window appear in the current view? ====
+A: Because they don't match the current tag. I wrote a script to tag all new windows with the current view.
+''~/.wmii/wmiirc_local.py'' (requires Python support libraries, see above)
+<code python>
+#!/usr/bin/env python
+import wmiirc
+def debug(*args, **kwargs):
+	print args, kwargs
+def tag_client_with_current_view(event, client):
+	wmiirc.Client(client).tags = "sel"
+any = wmiirc.Match(wmiirc._)	# Wildcard
+wmiirc.events.bind({
+	#any: debug,
+	wmiirc.Match("CreateClient"): tag_client_with_current_view,
+	})
+</code>
+Stand-alone script, does not require any special libraries (but isn't started automatically)
+<code python>
+#!/usr/bin/env python
+import os
+import sys
+p = os.popen("wmiir read /event")
+while True:
+    event = p.readline()
+    if event.startswith("CreateClient"):
+        client = event.split(" ", 1)[1].strip()
+        os.system("wmiir xwrite /client/%s/tags $(wmiir read /tag/sel/ctl | head -n1)" % client)
+</code>
