Package: wmaker Version: 0.92.0-8 Severity: important Tags: patch Hello,
I recently upgraded from etch to lenny, and WindowMaker has some refresh problems since. It is frequent when switching workspaces, and very annoying: focus is not where it seems to be, and window contents are polluted by underlying windows. Luckily, a patch for this has already been posted to the WindowMaker list: http://lists.windowmaker.info/dev/msg00045.html I tried the patch with the currently packaged version of wmaker, and it solved my problem. I understand from the patch comments that this is a workaround, but from a user's point of view, it is an excellent solution, so I think it would be good to have it in the released package. FWIW the system is an old and slow laptop, so I use a 16bpp display (and wmaker of course) to speed things up a bit. From xdpyinfo I see that Composite is present (default in current Xorg I guess), though I have no idea if it's really enabled or useful (old ATI Rage mobility chipset), but it seems to trigger the problem (it showed up with the upgrade from etch to lenny, and with etch the Composite option was probably not enabled). Thanks a lot for keeping WindowMaker alive! -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages wmaker depends on: ii cpp 4:4.3.2-2 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-3 generic font configuration library ii libwraster3 0.92.0-8 Shared libraries of Window Maker r ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxft2 2.1.12-3 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxinerama1 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Xinerama extension library wmaker recommends no packages.
