Hi, I use Sloppy Focus and I have some buggy "features" also. For example if the focus is on app A on workspace 1 and I switch to workspace 2, where there is no window, app A on ws 1 still has the focus. I think the desirable behaviour would be, that there is no window focused at all. Nevertheless sometimes it happens that noone has the focus. This is OK. But in these cases bbkeys does not grap keypresses. (Until I focus something.)
And finally one thing that can be considered as a feature, a functional enhancement: I would love to have a setting that would make blackbox not to focus anything when there is nothing under the mouse pointer. Now if I use sloppy focus, and focus a window with the mouse, and then move the mouse to float over some empty desktop space, the last window remains focused. - I don't like this. (About minimalism and knowing the difference between bug & feature: I use ed as an editor if I have to, I frequently use telnet 80 as a "web browser" and telnet 25/110 as a mail client, wm2 as a window manager, etc. I am quite familiar with the topic, so pleaase do not treat me like a lame user...) About patches: As far as I know the patches available for blacbox should be applied to the clean distribution source. What happens if you want to apply two patches that would patch the same file? There is no doubt bugfix patches should be placed into a new release. There are small patches which provide small, minor functional extensions. Maybe it should be considered to integrate some of them into blacbox, but not by default. I mean you can decide what to compile or not when you run the configure. (./configure --with-feature-foo --without-feature-bar) Of course these should be only small enhancements, noone wants to change the minimalist philosophy of blackbox (for those there is KDE). I've just talked to Lacus (Laszlo Gerencser - also a bb list member), he suggested a modular architecture, like the modules for sawfish. What do you think? For those who think blackbox should be left untouched (for ages): Do you use any a.out binaries with libc3? :-)) Let peace be with you all, Peter
