version 2.2.12 release
* Session Management. AfterStep will utilize gnome-session for session
management if available. Several things needs to be manually adjusted for
full functionality :
1) go over list of autostart application files in /etc/xdg/autostart and for
those that you want started and have line OnlyShowIn= - add AfterStep to
the list of environments. One example is gnome-keyring* stuff -
by default it is only enabled in GNOME session.
2) if session takes a long time to close after Logout dialog was shown -
most likely culprit is the pulseaudio. You may need to get rid of it and
switch to more standard and stable ALSA.
3) It is recommended to uninstall zeitgeist daemon since its useless under
AfterStep anyway but wastes resources with its snooping activity.
4) gnome-session will save any app that support session mamgement at the end
of the session to be restarted the next time. Unless you run UBUNTU in
which case this functionality my be disabled in stock gnome-session. If
you want it back, then it is recommended that you build your own
gnome-session from sources. On the other hand if you do not want this
functionality, again, get gnome-session source and comment out contents of
maybe_load_saved_session_apps() function in gnome-session/gsm-session-fill.c.
5) If you find that your GTK apps look butt-ugly - its probably because gconfd
is not running. It is normally started by gnome-session, but bastardised
version of it that comes with Ubuntu does not do it for some reason.
* More Useless packages : ubuntu-desktop deja-dup
pkgsrc-wip, as the program has changed a lot. So:
AfterStep is a window manager for the Unix X Window System. Based on the
look and feel of the NeXTStep interface, it provides end users with a
consistent, clean, and elegant desktop.
Some of the distinguishing features of AfterStep compared to other window
managers are its low usage of resources, stability and configurability.
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".
