I have the same problem with wmbutton (see the patches). Tooltips don't support UTF-8 characters and don't check the wmaker's preferences. IMO, is better have a wmpager (with or without tooltips) than don't have nothing. Perhaps, you can hold the tooltips without utf-8 in the pager. Finally, I was thinking some days ago about dockapps. Some code is the same in many dockapps, for example CPU/memory/disk monitors checking the /proc. Now we have the same with the tooltips (wmbutton, wmpager and probably others). Probably we should think about something like "libdockapps", a shared library with shared code used in dockapps. Cheers, kix -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
