windowmaker - application icon missing at first start
Hi! I noticed we recently have a strange behaviour, which is slightly different from setup (= installation on different computers) to setup I have The first time I start a GNUstep application with windowmaker (I mean the first GNUstep app started ever after X11 start essentially) it has a bad icon. - on some setup it has a "generic" icon by windowmaker - on other setups it has a black looking icon, as only the "mask" of the icon, the contours are drawn A restart of the app and then starting any other app, fixes that. This was not happening before. I think it is related to at least this commit - merge: https://github.com/mozilla/newtab-dev/raw/6be44da368fb869a3d3e1975f515857352a7d9fc/browser/modules/ProcessHangMonitor.jsm Can you reproduce? How is it for you? Riccardo

Actually, this has been happening before, but it was fixed about five years ago in this commit: https://github.com/gnustep/libs-back/commit/1e1185abb364f2ffcb5f06f62c1241d419b8b697#diff-c3c9abc7461037f8abf3f590d909cff84c39bc7817b79d7dfd379b38a3756385 > I think it is related to at least this > commit - merge: > > https://github.com/mozilla/newtab-dev/raw/6be44da368fb869a3d3e1975f515857352a7d9fc/browser/modules/ProcessHangMonitor.jsm I assume you meant this commit instead https://github.com/gnustep/libs-back/commit/31b7c4ed2f8efa0127605511aaf4eafef6a3d1c8 And, yes, your suspicion is correct because it exactly comments out the earlier fix.

As stated in description to this commit it fixes flickering of appicon at application start. Quote: “This fix based on the fact that root application window (ROOT) is mapped in `-orderwindow:::` and this is the event of application recognition by WindowMaker because it is a first application window that is mapped.”. That "root application window" is called “group leader” and saved in every application window structure (WWindow) member `main_window` inside WM. It holds all required properties to be detected by WM correctly. The earlier fix probably masks other unknown problem. My WindowMaker 0.95.7 default configuration tests work like a charm. Wolfgang, do you observe the same behaviour as Riccardo? I yes, could you please share your setup? > Wolfgang > > Sergii

I wrote this email some days ago to Fred privately, because I was thinking that the problem was relative to my window manager that is young and ealyy stage, so i post here too bcause the problem is quite similar. Hi Fred, I write becaus ethe gnustep support in uroswm is almost completed, but there are few things to fix, actually in the miniwindow managment. Explain it with words would be a bit complex especially with my english, so I made a gif pic to share with you. Here is the lin that will expire after one month: https://ibb.co/3ND5Dhw Now i explain the problem in steps amd you will noticed them in the gif: 1) First time run uroswm 2) First time a GNUstep App 3) When the App is first time started the miniwindow on the left-bottom corner doesn't draw the icon, or better, it draws the icon but disappers quite soon. The icon just appears for some instants and then disappers. 4) I close the App 5) I run again the app 6) At this point, the App is started for the second time, ll works as expecetd and the miniwindow draws the icon ans show it as expected. Don't be scared by bad colors in the gif i just set low quality to the recorder. Why at the first start of theapp the icon is not painted as we expects? Maybe at the first run GS is doing some particular requests or setting/asking for soe extended window manager hints?
