I'm currently trying out unclutter-xfixes as I'm hitting the various unclutter bugs. Although unclutter-xfixes is a drop-in replacement, it does have some behavioural differences which might make people prefer the old unclutter. For example, xtrlock's padlock cursor gets hidden by unclutter-xfixes but not by old unclutter. So, I think that maybe unclutter and unclutter-xfixes should be separate source packages that register with the alternatives system? -- Sean Whitton signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Bug#913639: unclutter: change upstream to unclutter-xfixes
Package: unclutter Version: 8-21 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer, since unclutter seems very old (so old that it doesn't even have an Homepage, but it must be referred to by a web.archive snapshot among the other things), would you mind switching upstream location to unclutter-xfixes[0] for an hopefully actively maintained alternative which also seems to solve many known bugs with modern WMs? By the way, this is a rewrite of the program, so maybe a new package with a different name is more appropriate? Thank you.
