[E-devel] Idea for new feature: 3D task switcher

2004-07-09 Thread Daniel Kasak
Hi all.
I realise that a release of Enlightenment-0.17 is some time off, but 
I've had an idea that I think would make an excellent feature: a 3D task 
switcher.

What I'm picturing is something in-between the 3ddesktop switcher at: 
http://desk3d.sourceforge.net/ and the Mac OS-X switcher that displays 
all running apps laid out on the screen at once ( OS-X has a few task 
switchers - I'm not sure how to trigger this one or what it's called, 
but my best friend uses it ).

The task switcher would keep in memory an image of what each app looked 
like when it was last visible, and when the users triggered the 
switcher, it would lay out all apps similar to the 3ddesktop switcher, 
or maybe as faces to a big spherical thing that you could use the mouse 
to roll around.

If I knew how to code C or C++ I would do it myself - I've already had a 
look at the 3ddesktop code, and unfortunately I don't have a damned clue 
what it's on about - Perl / PHP is my current limit.

Anyway, feel free to comment / flame. It's just an idea.
Dan

[E-devel] bug in libast's memset for 64bit+ architectures

2004-07-09 Thread Mike Frysinger
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52634

users were noticing weird results while using Eterm and they tracked it back 
to libast's MEMSET() macro in eterm/libast/include/libast.h:

if (((unsigned long) count) = 4 * sizeof(long)) { \
/* fill l with c. */ \
l = (c) | (c)8; \
l |= l16; \
MEMSET_LONG();

the problem being that on 64 bit archs, you'll need a little more  
loving ... the patch provided by Jason McCarver is to add another line:
l |= l32; \
right before the MEMSET_LONG() call
http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=34976action=view

perhaps the MEMSET_LONG() call itself will need updating ?

Did you consider the fact that KDE might be setting your mixer values for
you on startup?
