Re: AllowDeactivateGrabs no longer works?

I'll have to try it out next time. If it works it might be worth putting it in a script and attaching it to an evdev hotkey (so that the hotkey can't be blocked.) That should reproduce the old behaviour quite nicely... So there are no plans to add this back in then?

examples of using xinput?
OK, I've been trying to understand the "official" new way to configure my trackball for draglock and to shuffle buttons around to my liking, and while I can tell from web searches that the "xinput" tool may indeed be the way to do this, I am left completely bumfuzzled by how the heck I am supposed to use it. The man page is utterly cryptic and many hours of web searches have turned up zero examples that might give me a hint. Or if the xinput tool isn't really what I want, what is the tool I want? I warn you, I'll soon be forced to go back to setting AutoAddDevices to false in xorg.conf and doing things the old way, then what are all these "improvements" for? :-). ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

xcompmgr -- Proposal: root background fill color
Hello,
xcompmgr fills the root window by #808080 if there is no
_XROOTPMAP_ID property or something found.
May I propose by the attached little tweak to make the above grey
value configurable by command-line by the
-b colorname
parameter. The proposal uses XLookupColor() to resolve this name
into RGB values used by XRenderFillRectangle() in root_tile() in
xcompmgr.c.
Greetings,
Eeri Kask
