Package: xaos
Version: 3.1r-4
Severity: normal
xscreensaver 4.13 introduced a new version of vroot.h which allows
multiple hacks on the multiple displays on a Xinerama setup. The
changelog entry from vroot.h (in the xscreensaver package) looks
like this:
* Jamie Zawinski <[email protected]>, 3-Sep-2003
* - if the environment variable "XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW" is set, use that
* as the root window instead of searching for __SWM_VROOT.
xaos should use 'vroot.h' so that it locates the correct ("virtual") root
window. Otherwise, it tries to start up in the wrong window when run
under a virtual root window manager, or when run under xscreensaver
on xinerama setups. The head of 'vroot.h' states:
* vroot.h -- Virtual Root Window handling header file
*
* This header file redefines the X11 macros RootWindow and DefaultRootWindow,
* making them look for a virtual root window as provided by certain `virtual'
* window managers like swm and tvtwm. If none is found, the ordinary root
* window is returned, thus retaining backward compatibility with standard
* window managers.
* The function implementing the virtual root lookup remembers the result of
* its last invocation to avoid overhead in the case of repeated calls
* on the same display and screen arguments.
* The lookup code itself is taken from Tom LaStrange's ssetroot program.
*
* Most simple root window changing X programs can be converted to using
* virtual roots by just including
*
* #include <X11/vroot.h>
*
* after all the X11 header files.
I think that xaos can be fixed by grabbing the latest vroot.h from the
xscreensaver source package and inserting this #include at the
appropriate place in xaos's src/ui/ui-drv/x11/xlib.c source file
(possibly also in src/ui/ui-drv/dga/ui_dga.c, which also calls
RootWindow).
