Case insensitive WindowBringer

[Jack Bates]

I love WindowBringer but I sometimes forget the menu items (window
titles) are all lowercase. I type a capital letter, e.g. "Makefile" and
get no results. Would you consider a pull request to make it case
insensitive?

Is it WindowBringer or XPrompt that is causing the case-sensitivity
issue?

WindowBringer uses dmenu, not XMonad.Prompt.

Bummer.  Sounds like an even better patch is needed ;)

This is the change I have in mind:
http://nottheoilrig.com/case-insensitive.patch

Is it acceptable? Would you make any changes to it?

There is a version of WindowBringer that uses XMonad.Prompt instead of
dmenu: XMonad.Prompt.Window

Better way to do this is make a pull request on github.

You bet, done: https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/pull/53

The Travis build check failed because "cabal update" failed.
There was a problem with http://hackage.haskell.org/packages
Is there anything I should do?

Not really. My experience is Travis gets that kind of thing a lot; another project I work with that uses the free Travis infra constantly gets spurious failures due to it failing to pull packages from apt-get or github or etc. I imagine they're not very motivated to fix it for the free service.

And no sooner do I hit send on that, then:
