Brad recently reworked the handling of window dimensions.  This had the
advantage of simplifying many sections of code.  However there are some
sections of code that used to work and no have subtle flaws.  This appears to
be one of them from your description, Scott Furt pointed out another one
earlier today.

This is the point of the alpha series.  To try out new code and to get plenty
of feedback from it.  Brad and I do not use the same groups of software nor do
we use the window manager in the same way.  Only by having as many different
people and different uses as possible can we be sure to have a stable, robust
window manager.

Things like this with clearly defined causes are absolutely great.

Wilbert, I noticed you submitted this to sf.net.  I really appreciate that. 
Thanks.

I am still trying to get this list to allow mail from the sf.net bug Tracker. 
That way every submitted bug and response will appear on this list.  That
should help cut down on the duplicate posts to here and the tracker.

shade, maximize, unmaximize prob.

2002-05-27 Thread Wilbert Berendsen

Hi all,

in CVS (may 27) is a little bug concerning maximize and shade.

To reproduce:
- open xterm
- shade it
- maximize it (it opens fully and maximizes, looks OK)
- UNmaximize it (the window has zero height, but is NOT shaded anymore :-)

To me it would be normal that after unmaximizing the shaded window would
remain unshaded (i.e. Maximizing toggles shade off).

OTOH, when shading a maximized window and then unmaximizing it, it remains
shaded, which is IMHO the correct behaviour.

Bye,

Timing and transient windows

2002-05-27 Thread Scott Furt

I remember there was discussion about transient windows
that were created/destroyed very quickly hanging around.

I just experienced this with ROX.  I was copying a very
small text file to a sub-dir, and the "Copying..." window
seems to have hung around as "Unnamed".  All efforts at
killing the window fail.

It is also similar to the problem i've been having with
GNOME apps' transient windows not going away.

"Close" is disabled, "Kill Client" doesnt work, and
"xkill" will not remove the window.

If it helps, i have been changing styles around pretty
frequently in the past 20 minutes... i'm trying to delete
some styles i don't like, so i've been going back/forth
between them.

let's all point at the Windows monkey (-:

No worries Scott, many of us have had that bite us before.  I used to work at
an ISP and our web monkey would do that all the time and mess up my cgis.

When reading the blackbox errors on the console i could not see the ^M.  I
wanted to see all of the errors and piped them into a file and restarted.  That
was when I noticed it.

A parse error on #ff just seemed a little odd, you know.

i purposely set all parentRelative colors to white and

It gets WEIRDER.  The problem is actually this:

BColor::allocate: color parse error: "#ff^M"

I ran your style through fromdos and it works just fine.  As I was afraid, it
is way to bright for me though.

Looks like blackbox should strip the strings and so should bbconf.

I may be a little daft, but um how did you use those styles?  Neither bbconf
nor blackbox will parse them.  It seems to not like the '#ff' style the
usual way is rgb:ff/ff/ff.

Also do not specify a path to bsetbg in your styles, blackbox should find it in

shade a window, change your style and the window border is drawn full size.  It
seems to happen if a reconfigure is called for by something.

Moving shaded windows

2002-05-27 Thread Scott Furt

Hello, i'm running blackbox a7, and i noticed a few oddities
when dragging shaded windows around with the mouse:

With freshly-shaded windows, dragging by the titlebar is fine.

However, with some windows that have been shaded for a while,
when i grab the titlebar to drag them, an outline box shows
up the size of the window's un-shaded dimensions.

If i unshade/shade, then move the window, it's fine again,
the outline box is the size of the title-bar.

I haven't noticed any pattern to the odd behaviour, other
than it seems to happen to shaded windows that i haven't
touched in a few minutes.

(I cannot grab a screenshot, becuase when i hold the mouse
down, the term. won't time correctly "sleep x && import ..."
doesnt work.)

Has anyone else experienced this?  It's no biggie, just a
strange cosmetic effect.  (It seems to happen most often
to terms and ROX windows -- but that's probably becuase
i've always got ROX/terms open)

ok, false alarm.  The configure scripts ripped from kde attempt to use ksh and
then bash if ksh is not found.  I removed ksh while the build was going and was
left with source that could not even make clean because of the explicit
SHELL=/bin/ksh.  But if you do not have ksh installed there is no problem.

It would be nice if kde was not letting feelings get in the way and only use
/bin/sh like a good portable developer, but oh well.

ChangeLog

- version 1.6::
- fixed layout issues so we now fit into 800x600 screen size, yay!
  [vanRijn]

- using the proper QPaintDevice::x11AppDisplay() rather than 
  qt_xdisplay(), 
  and RootWindow(QPaintDevice::x11AppDisplay(),  
  QPaintDevice::x11AppScreen())
  instead of qt_xrootwin() throughout the project now...  (thanks for
  the Qt-down-low, nyz!  =:)
  [vanRijn]

- now using blackbox's pid to ask him to reconfigure rather than doing
  'killall -HUP blackbox', which at best is undesirable and at worst
  is VERY un-neighborly (it's not nice to init 0 SCO boxen
  unannounced).  We now use the _BLACKBOX_PID atom on the root window
  to get the pid and kill -HUP it.  Yay!
  [vanRijn]

- fixing installation directory for bbconf's plugins.  Previously, we
  stuck these in $(datadir).  These now go in
  $(prefix)/lib/bbconf/plugins.
  [vanRijn]

- fixing bbconf to understand "~" better.  Ported blackbox's
  expandTilde() to QString.  Still don't do "~user", but we're better
  than we were.  =:)  Thanks to Nate Smith for bug reporting!
  [vanRijn]

- okay, big change... Qt 3.0.3 or > is required for bbconf now.  =:)
  There's more reasons that I care to list for this, but they're all
  really good.  =:)
  [vanRijn]

- pulling in newer and improved-er =:) acinclude.m4, ltconfig, and
  ltmain.sh from kde3 directories.
  Hopefully this will allow Brad to compile now.  =:)
  [vanRijn]

- fix for style-setting changes.  Also, we now dynamically load the
  list of available styles and populate our look and feel dropdown
  based on what's really available on the system, rather than
  hard-coding it.
  [vanRijn]

- okay, more build fixes for FreeBSD.  FreeBSD calls qt2's moc "moc2".
  I'm curious to see what havoc we'll wreak with qt3.  libqt3.so?
  moc3?  Thanks to Kyle Donaldson for the bug reports.  =:)  
  [vanRijn]

- build fix for redhat boxes (?)--gzipping the man page
  [vanRijn]

- taking out "(experimental)" from the --enable-mt directive
  [vanRijn]

- hopefully fixing the layout issues where we were taking up rather
  large amounts of screen real estate (which was not very nice of us)
  [vanRijn]

- fixing kckey.cpp (lower/upper-case issues) (was stopping people from
  being able to use comma, period, space, etc. for keybindings)
  [vanRijn]

- fixing Makefile.in's for NetBSD builds (probably others too)--we had
  LDFLAGS overridden in all the plugin Makefiles (why, I don't know).
  Thanks to Thomas Klausner for the bug report.
  [vanRijn]

it was not discussed in public, no.  We hashed it out on irc and a little on a
separate -devel list between Brad, xOr and myself.

The work is tabled until after 0.65.0 is released and probably until after some
of the work for 0.70.0 is begun.  When time comes, we will welcome the help.

run xprop on the psuedo root.  If it sets a few NET_WM atoms then yes we will
support it.  This is the same style of window that KDE and GNOME use to give
desktop icons.  Right now blackbox can not tell it from another window but it
will eventually be able to see the "I am a desktop window, leave me alone".

Yes, I was also amazed about the readability and compactness of the
implementation.  Very nice work!

regarding .blackborc style override support, is this discussed somewhere
on another list, or just irc :) maybe I can help.
btw blackbox is coming along very nicely (love the alt-tab feature).

Question: ROX-Filer current CVS uses a pseudo root window when you enable
pinboard icons, which does not work well with Blackbox.  Can you (or other
guys) verify if this is standard behaviour? (ROX adheres very well to
standards on different points, like SOAP, MIME-info etc.) Will blackbox as
well support pseudo root windows like ROX's? (I asked this as well on the
rox-devel list.)


Kind regards,
Wilbert

yep, ickle works and I can see the bug happen.  This only occurs if you try to
close ickle while still online, if you go off line then close it if quits just
fine.

Brad and I are looking into the recent problems his patch has caused and
hopefully everything will be happy again soon.

If you have any suggestions I would be glad to try them. Maybe a way to
cause a core dump?

Yeah, I can't believe I did that.  It's okay, I have a long history of
making retarded mistakes :)

No particular reason. I did it, so I thought it would be worth mentioning.

yeah someone from the openbox team implemented the algorithm we talked about
late last year.  We now make a list of empty regions and choose the right region
based on a sort function.  The code is very nice and clean.  This was by far
one of the ugliest sections of blackbox.
