Yeah, this working was what I meant by it's been fixed... so this is a  
different bug now.

Thanks, I can see this and know what the problem is... but it's gonna  
take a bit to get the fix.

No, it just means that I sent the email late at night and typed the  
wrong location.  /usr/bin/quartz-wm is correct.

Yes.  They're both reporting 1.0.0.  It'll only get bumped in version  
on "real" releases.
