Window-picker-applet is not in Debian anymore. Before shipping window-picker-applet in Tails, we need its code to be carefully read by C experts.

Two C experts read the code and said there was nothing looking malicious or suspicious.

However, they spotted a few bugs that should be reported upstream. That’s Bug #7365.

FTR There is still a window-picker-applet package for oldstable which i can take over and upgrade. This has now been confirmed by the original maintainer.
