Hi to everybody and Marry Christmas...
Well, I know my problems may bore someone of you, but I think that if they
are problems releated to software and they're not due to my incompetence with
Linux, solving them can help a lot of people... ;)
So on... I use (on RedHat Linux 7.0) the HelixCode Gnome, now I have upgraded
the sawfish windows manager to the 0.33.1 (if I remember well, it's the
latest HelixCode sawfish, anyway).
Well, it gives me errors in the handling of windows focus (if I change the
virtual screen, and then I return back, I lose control and I need to click
over the window to have back the focus).
That problem may be considered stupid, but I think it is a bug.
The same problem occurs with any version of sawish, but not on the 0.31 (even
that in the rawhide directory, 0.34, if I remember...).
Abnother problem is about the correct windows position: console
(gnome-terminal) and xemacs fit not well in the screen if I decide to
maximize them.
I have reported these errors here, because the sawfish 0.34 in the rawhide
directory is still broken (if this is a bug, of course!).
I have not the time to check the code and the difference beetwen the 0.31
(good) and the 0.34 (bad) to see if there is something wrong in the source...
One more problem, it is the more fastidious one... well, I have losed the
xmms control! I don't know if it may depend on the many tries about the
sawfish (but it doesn't work even in KDE2.0.1), or in the fact that I have
upgraded the glibc with the 2.2-9 (latest release from the errata). If it is
a matter of glibc, than it is still broken (I know there are a lot of
problems with xmms).
The version tried are xmms-1.2.3-0_helix_1, the 1.2.4 (sources from RedHat:
xmms-1.2.4-1.src.rpm, goes in segfault (gcc-2.96-69, glibc-2.2-9) after
start, I don't have the binary, so I have compiled it by myself [rpm -bb
xmms.spec]).
The problems with xmms is exactly that: when invoked to play an mp3 (it goes
well when I need a CD-player), it run the progress bar very, very fast! (Time
is about 2:1), and leave a .wav file in the working directory!
This wav file is broken, but if I invoke play on it, I can hear some of the
original mp3 file!
I used xmms wiht these files, before to upgrade to the glibc-2.2-9, it was
all good!
The mp3 plays well with RealPlayer.
Thank you everybody, I hope you can answer!
Bye, Mario
