Hi there, I'm a pretty noisy advocate of fvwm among Gentoo Linux users and one of the questions/comments I seem to keep getting is that when aterm terminals are being moved opaquely, they have a really noticable "Flicker"...I can see this as well, but as aterm is the only application I've ever seen it with and it works fine with rxvt (from which aterm is derived), it must be an aterm bug.
Apparently it looks okay with fluxbox, so they must do some aterm-detection magic (cheating :). Trying to demonstrate this to some people I was going to use the FlickeringMoveWorkaround BugOpt, but I can't seem to make it work..browsing the source, I cant even see how its supposed to work. and an xev window confirms that it still gets ConfigureNotify's while being moved, no matter what setting it has. Shouldnt there be some sort of check in SendConfigureNotify()? maybe like this: $ cvs diff fvwm/events.c Index: fvwm/events.c =================================================================== RCS file: /home/cvs/fvwm/fvwm/fvwm/events.c,v retrieving revision 1.488 diff -u -w -r1.488 events.c --- fvwm/events.c 16 Feb 2004 13:45:59 -0000 1.488 +++ fvwm/events.c 17 Feb 2004 12:22:31 -0000 @@ -3485,7 +3485,7 @@ XEvent client_event; size_borders b; - if (!fw || IS_SHADED(fw)) + if (!fw || IS_SHADED(fw) || Scr.bo.DisableConfigureNotify) { return; } my fvwm2rc is here if you need it http://dev.gentoo.org/~taviso/fvwm2rc.html btw, two really cool patches yesterday Dominik..Thanks! -- ------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] | finger me for my gpg key. ------------------------------------------------------- -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
