It's extremely fast, small, dynamic and awesome.
Packaged by adam.hoka@gmail.com.
The holder of the Ion3(tm) trademark and copyright demands that
this package must be kept up-to-date at all times. We cannot comply
with such demands, especially considering that pkgsrc has
"stable branches".
(If anyone cares about this package, I suggest we maintain it in
pkgsrc-wip instead.)
News in 1.0.0:
* New default style: bloe
* New styles:
ostrich zimek_darkblue, zimek_green, zimek_bisque,
carp, arch, bora_black, bora_blue, bora_green, green_tea, bloe
* Fixed shape handling, now shaped corners have border.
* Allow negative numbers in command "Workspace"
* Added utility fluxbox-remote
* Allows script access to most fluxbox commands;
Support must be turned on in the init file with
session.screen.allowRemoteActions; the syntax is, e.g.,
fluxbox-remote "CustomMenu ~/.fluxbox/custommenu"
* Added keycommands :AddWorkspace and :RemoveLastWorkspace
* Added some missing Open Office entries and window managers,
plus some other minor changes in fluxbox-generate_menu
* Updated languages:
sv_SE, zh_CN, de_*, es_ES, es_AR, en_US, en_GB, pt_*
fi_FI, fr_FR, ru_RU
And a lot of bugfixes, please review the Changelog file for more info.
* configure.in: version 1.3.1 - This version is to let people know
that Sawfish is being revived by the community, and we are awaiting
patches to be submitted for incoming 1.3.2 release
* fixed possible buffer overflow in src/fonts.c (Yoshiaki Kasahara)
1.3.1 also has many updated translations and doc fixes.
<philip@freebsd.org>.
Release notes:
This release features a few minor fixes. If no major problems are
discovered, this is likely to be the last "rc" release before the
first and hopefully final "stable" release.
ChangeLog:
o Binding guards weren't being used
o Set 'target' to requested instead of None on refused
SelectionNotify too. This seems to fix Xterm's paste
slowness.
3.4.4:
* Updated Traditional Chinese translation

* Fix for MoveToEdge skipping edges sometimes
* Let you specify the vertical and horizontal padding independently in themes
* Fix so that if you select an omnipresent window on another desktop in the
client list menus, it will go to that desktop

* Make screen edge warp keep warping without having the move the mouse 1
pixel

o Oops, wrong return value test for XTextPropertyToStringList
While here, I've added my FreeBSD "local distfiles" to the MASTER_SITES to keep
the package fetchable when the distfile disappears upstream when a new version
is released and before I get a chance to update the package.
3.4.3:
* Add Ukrainian translation
* Updated translations:
- Japanese, Dutch, Polish, Italian, Estonian, German, Portuguese,
Vietnamese, Finnish, Czech, Arabic, Spanish, Swedish, French
* Improve focus fallback - don't fallback to windows you can't focus cycle
(Alt-Tab) to
* Don't show the client border for undecorated windows when keepBorder is on,
just the outer border
* Some improvements in the smart placement to help it find a place more
often. This needs more work still.
* Don't focus windows that appear under the mouse in mouse-focus mode unless
underMouse is enabled
* Don't move focus when the window under the pointer iconifies unless
underMouse is enabled
* Respect min/max window sizes when a window is fullscreened or maximized.
This fixes problems experienced with maximizing vnc windows
* Don't XUngrabKeyboard unless we need to
* Correct calculations for the menu header width, so that they are not
ellisized unnecessarily
* Advanced support for partial struts. When you maximize a window it will
now only use the struts it needs to. This can greatly improve
xinerama functionality.
* Fixes for how the dock is placed in certain positions on screen (off by 1
errors)
* New default bindings:
- don't unshade when clicking on the titlebar
- raise when unshading with the scrollwheel
- lower when shading with the scrollwheel
* Don't show the top resize area in the titlebar when a window is shaded
* Optimize rendering of window decorations
* Optimize splitvertical gradients - no more malloc/free during render
* Let the theme specify all colors for a splitvertical gradient with the new
.splitTo theme elements
* Improve decorations for maximized windows. Don't draw the side borders in
the titlebar.
* Don't resist against desklet windows (below layer + skip taskbar)
* New actions for dynamically adjusting your desktop workspaces:
- AddDesktopLast, RemoveDesktopLast
- AddDesktopCurrent, RemoveDestopCurrent
* New <center> option for smart placement (default is on)
* Fix MoveToCenter in Xinerama (TwinView) setups
* Let you lower a window without lowering its children or siblings
* Don't set the default Openbox icon on child windows, let them inherit the
icon from their parents
* Fix Onyx themes - fade out disabled buttons
* Don't auto-resize windows to fit on screen if they are UserSpecified
Size or Position
* Don't activate windows which raise themselves anymore. It was a nice
thought, but it caused too much problems
* Rewrite of the actions subsystem
* Removed deprecated actions:
- ShowDesktop, UnshowDesktop (Use ToggleShowDesktop)
- ResizeRelativeVert, ResizeRelativeHorz (Use ResizeRelative)
* Combined the MoveFromEdge* actions with MoveToEdge* actions, and removed
the MoveFromEdge* action names.
* Switch desktops when moving a window and you drag it to the edge of the
screen (added the <screenEdgeWarpTime> option for this)
* Add actions to add/remove the last desktop in the client list menus
* Use startup notification when launching ObConf in the default root menu
* Remove the desktop switching dialog, as it confuses people and they don't
know how to turn it off to switch desktops instantly. Some other
incarnation may return in the future.
* Add optional <finalactions> option for NextWindow, PreviousWindow,
DirectionalFocus*, and DirectionalTarget* actions
* Don't focus new helper windows unless they are alone in their group. This
fixes gucharmap
* Fancy keyboard window moving:
- Shift-arrow will move the window to the next edge
- Control-arrow will move the window by only 1 pixel
- Arrow will move the window by a larger number of pixels
* Fancy keyboard window resizing:
- The first arrow will choose an edge to resize (then you can grow or
shrink the window on that edge)
- Hitting an arrow perpendicular to your selected edge will choose a
different edge to resize
- Shift-arrow will grow/shrink the window to the next edge
- Control arrow will grow/shrink the window by only 1 pixel
- Arrow will grow/shrink the window by a larger number of pixel
* Timeout when synchronously resizing a window so you can still resize busy
or dead application windows
* Let you specify keyboard shortcuts in your root menus with _. Such as
label="XTe_rm" would make 'r' the shortcut key.
* Fixes for placing windows with per-app settings:
- you can now place windows relative to any edge of the screen instead of
only the top left. (-0 uses the far edge, +0 uses the near edge. You can
use --0 and +-0 to specify negative numbers.)
- fix bug with windows being placed far off-screen occasionally
- allow you to place windows partially outside of the screen
- let per-app settings override program-specified positions (but not if it
is user-specified)
* Add user-specified margins to the configuration file
* Fix for transient windows in groups with transient windows of the group
transients. That wasn't supposed to be legible. i.e. 2 group transients
and 1 direct transient for one of the group transients.
* Don't include child/parent windows in tests for being occluded or occluding
other windows, since you can't raise/lower above/below them. This fixes
the raiselower action for windows which have children.
* Reduce the size of the middle gradient in splitvertical gradients. This
makes the split harder than it was in 3.4.2
* Don't include debian/ dir in releases
* Add resize bindings for the edges to the default hardcoded bindings
* Fix focus cycle indicator positioning for some windows (i.e. OpenOffice)
* Add the MoveResizeTo action. This is very xinerama aware! It also lets
you move a window to any edge of any screen.
* Make actions that look for edges include the dock's edges (e.g. MoveToEdge)
* New preferred option for the Execute action is <command> instead of
<execute> but the old one will still work.
* Fix for moving windows partially offsceen causing them to jump far away
* Fix for windows which are not on any monitor, to keep them on screen
partically too
* Require libstartupnotification 0.8 in configure (we use stuff that was not
around in some earlier versions)
* Grab the server when mapping windows to avoid race conditions in other
programs (getting MapNotify before you are visible)
* Handle case gracefully when ConfigureRequent for restacking specifies
a siblig which we aren't managing
* Use KeyRelease to run things from Openbox menus, so that the release
does not go to the focused window (causing the new window to not get
focus)
* Add new actions for controlling window decorations:
- Decorate, Undecorate
* Fix so that the values for per-app settings are not case sensitive
* Fix crash with very small windows
* Fix resize resistance for windows with aspect ratio limits
* Let you resize windows with aspect ratio limits in the vertical directions
It does not use threads, but some dynamically loaded plugins link
against libraries which are linked against libpthread (for no good
technical reason either, but I don't like to maintain patches for all).
- Fix pagers when enabling after initially being disabled
- Remove unused backup-....cfg stuf
- Fix fallback textclass
- Don't crash if trying to start when no theme is found. Add missing
newline.
- Fix parsing title, name, and class matches in windowmatches.cfg
- Remove trailing dash in release version string
- Enable setting imlib2 image cache size
- Eliminate some remainders from Window re-wrapping done a while back
OBPager is a lightweight pager applet or dockapp. It requires a netwm
compatible window manager such as OpenBox. OBPager shows windows in active
virtual desktops and allows the user to switch desktops by clicking on the
pager dockapp.
Twm is the classic Tom's Window Manager for the X Window System. It
provides titlebars, shaped windows, several forms of icon management,
user-defined macro functions, click-to-type and pointer-driven keyboard
focus, and user-specified key and pointer button bindings.

a direct parent, or if the parents are not all on some other desktop.
(Fixes Pidgin and Gimp dialogs appearing on the wrong desktop)
* Make windows fit within the available space when they are first created,
if they are not user-positioned. (Fix xpdf making itself bigger than the
space inside the struts, and hiding behind them).
* Don't let child (transient) windows steal focus when the situation is
ambiguous
* Fix bevels and borders display in the titlebar

is the proper fix for libwnck pagers.)
* Fallback focus immediately during iconify animation in all cases (was
missing RevertToParent case)
* Fix new frame elements being given 0 sizes for very small windows
* Send iconified windows to the bottom of the focus order so you can
Alt-Shift-Tab to get back what you just iconified. This makes things more
predictable.
* Show the hostname for remotely run programs in iconified titles
* Stop focus flicker when sending windows to a desktop and following them,
and when changing desktops with an omnipresent window focused

* Fix for libwnck with iconify animation (Unmap the parent of the client's
window)
* Force the top left corner of new windows onto the screen area, if the
position wasn't requested by the user (Fix xpdf and others hiding their
titlebar under a panel)
* Fix for determining text geometry from Pango
* Save the desktop layout and names in the session, and restore them on next
log in.
* The <desktop> section from the configuration file is only used for
defaults, and so is only applied at the start of a new log-in. (Use ObConf
1.6.2 to change the config file for these options, and have them set
immediately, if you don't use a session manager to save them.)
* Fix updating and crashing in the old split client list menu
* Translate the default desktop names
* Update Taiwanese Chinese translation

* Fix for window placement using wrong dimensions
* Stop xemacs ConfigureNotify storm
* Fix bug stopping panels from moving themselves off-screen to hide
themselves
* Fix for GNOME/Openbox and openbox-gnome-session to use a new session name,
because GNOME won't let you replace the window manager in the saved session
* Don't restore session state when multiple windows have the same
identifiers, because we can't tell them apart then (Firefox/Thunderbird)
* Small fixes to build system to make it more reliable
* Fix for what manpage files are distributed in the source code, so they
will not be pre-built with the wrong info
* Fix pkg-config files for compiling things against Openbox libraries
3.3.990:
* Wildcard matching for per-application (per-window) settings. Let you match
multiple rules for a window. (Props to Mark Pustjens for code to do this.)
* Added startup notification support to the menus and key/mouse bindings
with <startupnotify>. It's an option for execute actions.
* New combined client menu, accessed with
<action name="ShowMenu"><menu>client-list-combined-menu</menu></action>
* No menu titles - instead added separators with labels to be used as menu
headers anywhere in menus

openbox-session command
* Many code paths made significantly faster
* Sections of code rewritten to be more reliable, such as session
save/restore and input focus handling
* Handle the X server's clock going backwards, without locking up. Sometimes
the server can still lock up though, it is not recommended to do this!
* Better handling of window types such as docks, utility windows, tool bar
windows. Clicking to focus these windows is done more intelligently. Dock
windows no longer get focus when you click them, so that you don't have
focus flickering when you use a dock window with a taskbar.
* Better language support through Pango, which is now mandatory, and the
code for Pango has been greatly improved and optimized.
* Support for windows that use true 32-bit transparency
* Resize grips (with mouse binding contexts) for the top, left, and right of
the window frame
* Smarter about keeping windows on the screen without invading user's
capabilities
* Add MoveFromEdge* actions corresponding to MoveToEdge* but aligns far
edges instead of near edges, so if you have two overlapping windows you
can easily put them side by side.
* Better choice of mouse cursors for startup notification
* Focus stealing prevention
* Improve window placement across multiple Xinerama monitors
* Support 8-bit truecolor visuals (such as in vncserver)
* Better, more friendly support for omnipresent windows
* Full support for EWMH 1.4-draft2
* Iconify/restore animation !
* Improved support for running openbox with multiple screens (non-xinerama)
- won't steal focus from other screens, and let you focus a screen by
clicking on the desktop (root window).
* Support for more cursors through XCursor, means that startup notification
can use a pointer+watch cursor if you are using an XCursor theme
* Fully maximize terminal windows (and any resized-by-increment window)
* Show the hostname of clients running on remote computers in the titlebar
* Add <panels> and <desktop> options to NextWindow, PreviousWindow,
DirectionalFocusNorth etc..
* Synchronize resizing with the application when possible
* Smarter subdivision of windows into 9 sections for resizing
* Set default icon on windows so applications can agree on an icon
* Better support for programs that are on more than one desktop
(multiple firefox windows for example) - move to the desktop when you're
using the application and it opens a window on another desktop.
* Chrooted key chains, and key quoting through chroots
* New BreakChroot action to break out of the current chroot
* New keychains popup, to show where you are in a keychain
* Improved show-desktop mode. When you open a new window, the old windows
are not all restored
* Add <allDesktops> option to NextWindow and PreviousWindow. The desktop
name will be shown in the focus cycling popup
* Dynamically size the window and desktop dialogs. Desktop layouts that
aren't horizontal look better in the desktop cycling dialog.
* Support for legacy fullscreen applications (that don't use EWMH) such as
VLC
* Session support for old clients that do not use the session management
protocol
* Desktop setup is only changed on startup, so as to not overwrite settings
from other apps like pagers
* Take advantage of ksmserver (KDE Session Manager) features
* KDE/Openbox and GNOME/Openbox options for display manager GDM/KDM. Use
openbox-gnome-session and openbox-kde-session to run a GNOME or KDE
session with Openbox as the window manager.
* Titlebar buttons autohide when hiding won't move other buttons (removed
the hideDisabled option from config file)
* Support user time window hint, which is good for laptops power usage
* When legacy windows raise themselves, interpreate as wanting to be
activated. Makes Firefox more pleasant.
* Don't show handles on windows that cant resize for more extreme visual
minimalism
* Let you move maximized windows between Xinerama monitors
* Improve application awareness of focus, e.g. Kopete and Firefox, so they
know when they are or aren't focused, and which window in their
application is focused
* Improvements in the distributed themes
* Add new Clearlooks and Clearlooks-Olive themes by John McKnight
* Fonts are no longer loaded from theme. They are loaded from the rc.xml
config file. Font shadow settings are still loaded from the theme though.
5 fonts to be set: ActiveWindow InactiveWindow, MenuHeader, MenuItem and
OnScreenDisplay
* Distributed theme names have been renamed with Capitalization
* menu.items.activedisabled.text.color
* menu.border.color (note that globbing might set these properties when
you didnt mean to)
* window.active.border.color (note that globbing might set these
properties when you didnt mean to)
* window.inactive.border.color (note that globbing might set these
properties when you didnt mean to)
* menu.border.width
* Guarantee that titlebar buttons are even sized, so even sized icons
(button masks) will be centered
* Default titlebar button icons (as xbms) installed to /usr/share/doc/openbox
* New mouse binding contexts Left, Right, TLCorner, TRCorner and Top. These
need bindings in config file to be useful. Also new context Bottom which
is synonym for Handle.
* W is no longer hard coded to Mod4. It is now a shortcut for Super, which
is usually bound to Mod4. xmodmap will show your mapping.
* The per-app setting <head> has been renamed to <monitor>
* Can use "default" for anything in per-app settings
* Removed <edges_hit_layers_below> option from config file
* --reconfigure command line option
* --restart command line option

Metisse is an X-based window system designed with two goals in mind.
First, it should make it easy for HCI researchers to design and
implement innovative window management techniques Second, it should
conform to existing standards and be robust and efficient enough to be
used on a daily basis, making it a suitable platform for the
evaluation of the proposed techniques.
Metisse is not focused on a particular kind of interaction (e.g. 3D)
and should not be seen as a new desktop proposal. It is rather a tool
for creating new types of desktop environments.
pkgsrc, in preparation for gnome1-libs removal(*).
There was no feedback for keeping these packages after my
HEADS UP mail to pkgsrc-users a week ago.
(*) More to come before that can happen, though.
dwm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiling
and floating modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, optimizing
the environment for the application in use and the task performed. It
is the little brother of wmii.
dwm contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the
mode, the title of the focused window, and the text read from standard
input. The selected tags are highlighted with a different color, the
tags of the focused window are highlighted with a small point.

-Mesa-6.5.2 is needed (not at build time, but to run). See pkgsrc-wip.
-the "Composite" extension needs to be anabled in the X server
-at least for intel, Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" is needed, otherwise
some UIs look crippled
go away -- I have real doubts that a version 1.1 jdk and the accompanying
swing are any use to anyone, but am not sure the newer stuff we have
supports all ports which are supported by lang/jdk.
Patch provided by maintainer, Rhialto in PR 35637.
Changes from version 3.7 to 3.8
-------------------------------
1 - Global cleanup
There were some variables shadowing others, things not being
safely initialized, that sort of thing.
[Richard Levitte]
2 - Fixed several memory leaks found by
"Nadav Har'El" <nyh@math.technion.ac.il>.
[Olaf "Rhialto" Seibert]
3 - Merged in the f.movetitlebar command. By default this is bound to
alt-left-click in the titlebar.
[Olaf "Rhialto" Seibert]
4 - Fixed the following issues:
Poking at the code, it looks like InitVirtualScreens() is called
before the configuration file is parsed which would explain what
I see since there's no attempt to create them after the config
file read.
Moving the call after the config parsing causes things to work.
I've run into a few other issues that I fixed with the attached
patch:
- shadow menus on the right screen open the shadow on
the left screen
- shadow menus on the left screen open on top of the
window
- windows on the right screen disappear after startup
[Todd Kover]
5 - Adjustments to ctwm.man:
I noticed a couple of small errors.
One is that the window list arguments for the opaque
keywords are now optional, are listed with square brackets
in the man page. The other is that the two Threshold
keywords are shown in the man page as requiring curly-
brackets, but they are not required or accepted in
configuration files.
[Ross Combs]
6 - improve algoritm to deal with mismatched geometry of virtual
screens
- allow windows to be dragged from one virtual screen to another and
have them switch workspaces appropriately
- handle restarts properly with virtual screens, including preserving
where windows were placed within workspaces regardless of which
virtual screen a window was on; preserve across restarts
[Todd Kover]
7 - WMapCreateCurrentBackGround() and WMapCreateDefaultBackGround()
would skip remaining virtual screens if not all parameters are present.
- small type errors. [Olaf "Rhialto" Seibert].
8 - There were some directives in the config file that wanted to set some
setting for all virtual screens. However since that list is (now) only
set up after parsing the config file, they failed to work. Moreover,
these settings were basically meant to be global to all virtual
screens, so a better place for them is somewhere in *Scr. They all
related to the Workspace Manager, so I moved them from struct
WorkSpaceWindow to struct WorkSpaceMgr.
The affected directives are StartInMapState, WMgrVertButtonIndent,
WMgrHorizButtonIndent, MapWindowCurrentWorkSpace,
MapWindowDefaultWorkSpace. The window and icon_name, even though not
user-settable, were also moved.
This is basically change #7 above done right.
[Olaf "Rhialto" Seibert]
9 - Re-introduced TwmWindow.oldvs, used to avoid calling
XReparentWindow() when possibe (it messed up the stacking order
of windows). However, maybe the use of .vs should be rethought a
bit: in Vanish() it is now set to NULL with the old value kept
in .oldvs. However the window is still a child of the same vs.
Maybe it is better not to set it to NULL and then, when *really*
changing the virtual screen, .vs can be used instead of .oldvs.
This whole "virtual screen" thing is unexplained in the manual,
which even uses it as a synonym for "workspace" already in the
introduction paragraph. (There also does not seem to be a way
now to test virtual screens in captive windows) I suspect that
all this causes lots of confusion, and when cleared up, can
simplify the code a lot.
I also fixed up the horrible indentation in the functions
where I changed something.
[Olaf "Rhialto" Seibert]
10 - Fixed interaction between "inner" and "outer" workspace
selection with "captive" windows. This was because the Gnome
"_WIN_WORKSPACE" property is used in 2 conflicting ways: for
client windows it indicates which workspace they are in, for
root windows it indicates which workspace they show. Captive
windows are both. Also, the initially selected inner workspace
is now the first, not the same as the outer workspace (this had
a different cause).
[Olaf "Rhialto" Seibert]
11 - Introduce Scr->XineramaRoot to store the root window that
encompasses all virtual screen rootwindows. This further reduces
any need to use RealRoot and/or CaptiveRoot.
Add a schematic drawing that clarifies the relation between the
various root-type windows.
[Olaf "Rhialto" Seibert]
12 - Get rid of all non-locale code and make I18N the silent default
(doesn't have to be mentioned any more).
THIS WILL BREAK CTWM ON OLDER (PRE-LOCALE) ENVIRONMENTS.
I strongly recommend an upgrade to "post-locale" standards.
[Richard Levitte]
13 - Enhance RandomPlacement with a displacement argument, so the
pseudo-radomness can be of displacements other than +30+30.
Here's an example for a pretty funky displacement:
RandomPlacement "on" "-30-100"
[Richard Levitte]
14 - Extend the Info window with the geometry seen from the lower
right corner as well.
[Richard Levitte]
15 - Extend the pointer button specification for title buttons
to take modifiers.
As part of this change, the following title pointer button
specification is deprecated:
Button {j} : {function}
in favor of the following, for consistency:
Button {j} = {function}
The old way still works, but is considered bad form and will
be removed in ctwm 4.0.
[Richard Levitte]
16 - Fix position of buttons in Occupy window, to make them centered.
(and spread the remaining space evenly in 4).
[Olaf "Rhialto" Seibert]
17 - "TwmWindow.group" was once apparently set to 0 when a window had
no group leader but this was changed to pointing to its own
window. This resulted however in many places checking for both
conditions, and several checking only for 0 which could not
occur anymore. Changed it back to 0 (so we can now distinguish
again windows that really indicate themselves as group leader,
if we wish) and this gave rise to some simplifications.
Also, there were various loops through all TwmWindows looking
for a group leader (or a transientfor), I replaced them with
GetTwmWindow() which uses the Xlib function XFindContext() which
uses a hash table lookup. This should be more efficient.
When you change the occupation of a group member window, it is
now applied to the group leader (which in turn affects all
members).
I tried this with ExMH, the only program that uses a real group
leader that I could find. Iconifying the leader unmaps the
members. What should "squeezing" do? ExMH also has an icon
window (see ICCCM 4.1.9, 3rd option) which behaves weirdly; this
may be a bug in ExMH (see exmh-2.7.2/exmh.BUGS) even though fvwm
somehow handles it better.
[Olaf "Rhialto" Seibert]
18 - When Squeezing a window group leader, unmap the member windows,
just like happens with iconification.
[Olaf "Rhialto" Seibert]
19 - Simplifications c.q. de-duplications of code regarding the
WorkSpaceManager and Occupation windows. This includes coding
the layout of these windows only once instead of twice (at
initialisation and when resizing). If it's wrong now at least it
should be consistent.
When changing occupation via functions like
f.movetonextworkspace, also move complete window groups (just
like when you do it via the Occupation window).
Also fixed changing the occupation of the Occupation window.
Documented (so far) undocumented possibility to edit the labels
of workspaces on the fly (what use this is, I'm not sure).
Removed some unused variables.
[Olaf "Rhialto" Seibert]
20 - Get rid of the USE_SESSION and X11R6 macros and make them the
silent default. Also cleaned out a few references to the macro
X11R4, which hasn't been used for ages.
THIS WILL BREAK CTWM ON OLDER (PRE-X11R6) ENVIRONMENTS.
I strongly recommend an upgrade to a newer X11 release.
[Richard Levitte]
21 - Modified the random placement so a negative X displacement has
the first "random" window start near the right edge instead of
the right and a negative Y displacement has the first "random"
window start near the bottom edge instead of the top.
[Richard Levitte]
A new bug fix release of Xfce 4.2 is available. This release is supposed to
be the last release for the 4.2 branch. It includes several fixes ported from
the current developpment branch. This release should not be confused with the
upcoming Xfce 4.4 release [1], it's a bug fix release of the previous stable
branch.
[1] Xfce 4.4.0 is already in pkgsrc-wip.

mplayer).
- Decorations now update when unmanaged windows take focus, and
not FlickeringQtDialogsWorkaround is enabled.
- FvwmPager again allows movement of windows added before a
page change.
- fvwm no longer crashes on 1 and 4 bit displays. (#1677)
- EWMH desktops now correctly handles FPClickToFocus. (#1492)
- Security fix in fvwm-menu-directory. (CVE-2006-5969)
fvwm-2.4.20 maintenance release for all earlier 2.4.x versions.
It contains a number of minor fixes and one important security fix.
This release is available at the home page: http://www.fvwm.org/.
Who needs to upgrade?
---------------------
Because of the security issues with fvwm-2.3.4 to fvwm-2.4.19, it
is strongly recommended to upgrade to fvwm-2.4.19.
System administrators are encouraged to install this version to
grant their users access to the latest stable version.
Bug Fixes:
----------
* The configure script now correctly appends executable file
extensions to conditionally built binaries. Fixes building on
Cygwin.
* FvwmConsole no longer conflicts with getline of Cygwin's stdio.
* Fixed parsing of For loops in FvwmScript.
* Fixed a possible endless loop when de-iconifying a transient
window.
* Reject some invalid GNOME hints.
* Fixed a loop when xterm changes its "active icon" size.
* The configure script can now cope with four-part version numbers
when detecting some libraries.
* Security fixes in
fvwm-menu-directory. (CVE-2006-5969)

Fvwm is a powerful window manager. Version 2.5.18 is a bug fixing
release for 2.5.17. Please be aware that any features introduced
in the 2.5.x development versions may be renamed, changed or
removed without notice before 2.6.0.
Upgrading from earlier 2.5.x versions is recommended. Upgrading
from 2.5.17 is strongly recommended.
This release is available at the home page: http://www.fvwm.org/.
* Bug Fixes:
- If a window started fullscreen, leaving fullscreen state now
properly unmaximizes and resizes the window.
- Fixed the ForeColor/HilightFore styles that were broken in
2.5.17.
- FvwmPager can now move icons with the !IconTitle style.
- Fixed drawing of icons that are moved to a different desk.
- FvwmPager no longer tries to move non-movable windows.
- FvwmPager now moves all windows as user requests.
- FvwmPager no longer displaces windows with title and border
sizes on moves.
- TestRc now correctly matches Break, and $[cond.rc] is
expanded for Break.
- Fixed several 64-bit architecture problems with
XGetWindowProperty(). Xine works much better on 64-bit
machines.
- Fixed handling of ClickToFocusPassesClick with the EWMH
desktop (e.g. using nautilus).
- Fixed handling of windows that are unmapped and mapped again
too fast (e.g. fpga_editor).
3.3:
* Add a showDelay option for the dock.
* Fixed onscreen-keeping code which broke a bit in -rc2.
* Fix incorrect handling of window properties on 64 bit arches.
* Fix pixelsize being the same as size for pango, now it is correct.
* Fix drawing of icons taller than wide, eg gimp.
* Add a 'mirrorhorizontal' gradient, like horizontal but mirrored in the
center and 'splitvertical' which is like vertical but nonlinear in a fancy
way.
* Translations for de, hr and zh_TW added.
* Add initial per-app settings support.
* Fix some outstanding issues with 64-bit support.
* Add an optional delay for displaying submenus so you can move the mouse
over some entries without flashing each submenu.
* Plug some minor memleaks and fix minor bugs.
* Changed algorithm for downscaling window icons.
* New themes!
* Disable support for libstartup-notification by default, it doesn't seem
to work well.
* Allow disabling of duplicate window numbering by option titleNumber in
theme section.
* Add moverelative and resizerelative actions.
* Option middle for menus that make submenus be centered instead of aligned
by the top edge to the parent entry.
* Fix transient (ie dialog) windows being placed offscreen if the parent
is close to the edge of the screen.
3.3-rc2:
* Fixed some typos and errors in rc.xsd
* Add the noStrut option to the dock (to allow maximizing windows over it),
useful when it is not in the above layer.
* Fix transparent terminals not updating when using ToggleDecor.
* Yet more poking at the onscreen-keeping code, should now do the right
thing always.
* Add an option to hide disabled buttons instead of showing them as disabled.
* Hopefully fixed all the remaining pango issues. The new 1.10 release also
fixes shadows again.
* I think the lib linking in Makefile.am is right now, please tell me if it
isn't.
* Added a finnish translation and some minor updates to others.
* Fixed configure.ac so --enable-pango doesn't disable pango support or the
other way around, make enabled be default to get some extra testing.
3.3-rc1:
* Poked around a bit in the code that keeps windows onscreen, if you
are using xinerama, please let me know if things are better/worse/same.
* Add support for pango, disabled by default due to a bug in pango 1.8 that
breaks shadows, it works fine with 1.6.x though. Poke the pango developers
here http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169622 if you want this
to be fixed.
* Made edge resist and Send/MoveToEdge not hit windows at layers below
the current one, add option to disable this behaviour.
* Fixed directional focus not getting trapped in omnipresent windows
* Fixed focus actions when bound to the mouse, normal focus cycle is always
linear and directional focus is totally disabled, it makes no sense
anyway, just move the mouse.
* Added an option for the raise/lower/raiselower/unshaderaise/shadelower
options called group that lets you bind stuff to raise/lower the whole
window group. <action name="raise"><group>yes</group></action>
* Add various new actions. I haven't updated the web docs yet, but I think
I managed to get all of them listed in rc.xsd.
* Bugs 1783, 1812, 1863, 1905, 2005, 1957 fixed.
* Some translations added. (ca, no, pl, ru, fr)
* Removed the "Icons" tag. Now "IconPath" is specified within
the "JWM" tag instead.
* Now "DoubleClickDelta" is used to determine if the mouse
moved after a menu pops up.
* Added support for multiple startup and shutdown commands.
* Added the ability to move a window with Alt+click (Jeremy Reed).
* Now shaded status is preserved when minimizing windows.
* Reduced border flicker.
* Support for multiple root menus.
* Allow window operations in root menus.
* Add "RestartCommand".
* Fixed a key binding issue with key codes.
Finally add packages for the "new" version of blackbox, 0.70.x.
This window manager is incompatible with older versions, and older
add-on applications (aka "bbtools") will not work with this version.
Hence, add new versions of bbkeys and bbpager as well, to provide
at least the basics. (Again, these will not work with older versions.)
Why are we adding these? Well, I'm told that blackbox 0.70.x is
fully EWMH compliant and has better fonts. And people always ask
"why is blackbox 0.70.x not in pkgsrc?".
blackbox version 0.65 and the other bbtools that work with blackbox
will remain in pkgsrc.

* Enforce win_gravity=NorthWestGravity for client windows.
- Fixes issues with OO.org's transients in framed mode.
2006-03-18 22:19 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Changes in default appmenu.
- Removed firefox (won't promote gtk shit).
- Added opera, konqueror, dillo, w3m, links, rxvt.
2006-03-18 12:58 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Ah, -Wl,-whole-archive is a better hack.
2006-03-18 12:48 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Link PWM also with the -u ptrlist_iter gcc lameness hack.
2006-03-17 20:49 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Some more winprop/sizepolicy changes.

2006-03-17 10:22 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Oops. Previous change incomplete.
2006-03-17 10:07 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* default_ws_type is no longer set by config files and could confuse things. Fixed.
2006-03-15 23:00 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Changes in look file fonts.
- Refer directly to -*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-* as
the 'fixed' alias has problems with encodings.
2006-03-15 18:59 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Timer signal object passing to Lua side was broken.
(Weak typing...)
2006-03-15 18:23 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Changes in the set of configuration files.
- cfg_ion.lua now simply load cfg_ioncore.lua and cfg_modules.lua
with the default set of modules, and includes some of the most
commonly changed options commented-out. This deprecates cfg_user.lua
- cfg_menus.lua and cfg_bindings.lua are now cfg_ioncore.lua. This
better matches how things for different modules are in their own
files.
2006-03-12 12:29 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Embedded dock initilisation code had been broken. Fixed.
2006-03-11 09:05 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Oops. The stretch size policy used wrong variables.
2006-03-11 08:58 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Different query-menus use different history context.
2006-03-08 20:03 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Oops. The new client window code used wrong "llist" iterator.
This could cause segfaults.
2006-03-08 19:46 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Oops. Closing a transient had started warping to remaining transient(s).
2006-03-07 10:32 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Fixed binding lookup code to be able to deal with zero keycodes.
- This may happen if X keycode to keysym mapping is changed
while Ion is running.
2006-03-06 23:20 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Oops. If there were winprops set, SIZEPOLICY_DEFAULT was used for transients.

2006-03-05 13:42 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* 'ru' was missing from list of translations in po/Makefile.
2006-03-05 13:39 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* frame_rqgeom_clientwin passes rqflags as-is.
2006-03-05 13:30 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* SIZE_POLICY_FREE_GLUE is now properly used for transients.
2006-03-05 13:28 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Added -u ptrlist_iter linking hack to gcc/ld.
- Otherwise ptrlist.o from libtu won't get linked as it will no longer
used by the main binary, and thus the modules won't have access to it.
2006-03-05 10:59 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Improved free_glue and stretch size policies.
2006-03-02 18:49 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Added SIZEPOLICY_FREE_GLUE and other size policy code changes.
(TODO: client windows need to store state for this for transients.)
2006-02-26 16:25 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Client windows use the same (mplex) size policies for transients now.
2006-02-26 00:17 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Oops. MPlex attach code changes had broken mgd. region ordering on load.
2006-02-25 17:31 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Added some size policies with gravity.
2006-02-24 19:23 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Separated mplex size policy in new file, and independent of mplex.
2006-02-22 13:34 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Append '/' to submenu entries in query_menu.
2006-02-19 16:37 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Some mplex attach code cleanup.
2006-02-19 16:07 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Reduced usage of REGION_FIT_BOUNDS a little.
2006-02-19 00:41 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Updated dock to reflect previous mplex size policy changes.
2006-02-18 20:39 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Removed the WScratchpad class.
- Scratchpads are now simply normal WFrames with MPLEX_SIZEPOLICY_FREE.
2006-02-18 20:31 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Added WMPlex managed region size policy support.
2006-02-18 18:53 UTC Tuomo Valkonen

- Also brought mod_query.popen_completions documentation up-to-date.
2006-02-15 07:29 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Fixed load_hint.
- Stupid unsafe dynamically-typed languages...
2006-02-12 16:03 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Let's call it statusbar_ instead of status_ after all...
2006-02-12 15:59 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Oops. Should check for sb meter value being null when shortening it.
2006-02-12 15:30 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* mod_statusbar tries to load scripts before falling back to statusd.
- If status_foobar(.lua|.lc) is found on the search path, -m foobar
is not passed to ion-statusd.
2006-02-12 15:19 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Added region_activity_hook.
- Called when the activity flag of a region is changed with the
region as parameter.
2006-02-12 15:07 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Framed transients' size requests get handled now.
2006-02-11 15:35 UTC dev at triphoenix.de
* completefile-groupexec
Although ion-completefile does check if any matching executable is
world-executable or user-executable, it doesn't check for
group-executable. This is problematic for example on systems, where
games are installed with r-xr-x--- and root:games (which seems to be a
common method). This introduces a check for the group id, basically it
gets all groups for the current user and checks if any of them is
applicable. This is only done when the user and world checks already
have failed and the group-executable bit is set.
2006-02-08 07:42 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* ion-statusd catches SIGCHLD.
2006-02-07 21:37 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Improved comments in cfg_statusbar.lua.
2006-02-06 20:56 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Changed query_menu title transformation.
* Lua's regexp routines don't understand utf-8 or other multibyte encodings.

2006-01-25 23:57 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Added dummy gettext hack for those labels.
2006-01-25 23:54 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Added context menu label support.
2006-01-25 16:30 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Do not try to resize the statusbar unnecessarily.

* fixes random segfaults
With ion-3ds-20060107 I see random segfaults I can reproduce navigating
some website with galeon. This patch seems to fix the problem (and the
original code looked wrong)
2006-01-21 21:35 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Oops. A function wasn't marked local.
2006-01-21 20:57 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Oops. Counter wasn't incremented in statusbar list building.
2006-01-20 21:16 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Updated/fixed PWM bindings configuration.
2006-01-20 17:36 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Statusbar uses PtrLists instead of ObjLists.
(Stuff gets removed from ObjLists before the manager's removal handler
is called.)
2006-01-19 19:24 UTC Etan Reisner
* Use the table values we are iterating over.
2006-01-14 20:10 UTC Tuomo Valkonen

2006-01-11 17:12 UTC Tuomo Valkonen
* Fixed a problem in statusbar winprop usage.
This was packaged by pip88nl of gmail.com with some minor changes
by me.
JWM is a light-weight window manager for the X11 Window System.
It provides a menu, taskbar, key binding, system notification tray,
pager, a dock, and simple customizations. JWM is written in C and
uses only Xlib and the shape extension, libXpm and (optionally)
libpng. It can support some MWM, GNOME, and WM Spec hints.
(This software needs some work, but I import to official pkgsrc
so it will get more usage. I have been using it for a couple
months now. With its built-in features, it is a smaller than
blackbox with add-ons.)
If ${FILESDIR}/getsite.sh exists, then use it to determine the fetch
URL for each of the distfiles for the package. Otherwise, use
SITE_<file> and MASTER_SITES, in order, to determine the URL for each
distfile.
If the script path differs from ${FILESDIR}/getsite.sh, then set
DYNAMIC_SITE_SCRIPT to the full path to that script.
Remove the need to set DYNAMIC_MASTER_SITES explicitly in the package
Makefile for:
graphics/ns-cult3d
wm/sawfish-themes
www/apache-tomcat55
www/jakarta-tomcat4
www/jakarta-tomcat5
* New features:
- New MenuStyle options TitleFont, TitleColorset and
HilightTitleBack.
- New command PressButton in module FvwmButtons for being able
to emulate button press via other means than the mouse.
- New wrap options to EdgeScroll command for wrapping with pixel
distances.
- New Style option UnderMousePlacement.
- Unused arguments to Style options generate warnings.
- The name style names match against can be augmented by the
X-resource "fvwmstyle".
- New options, Reverse and UseStack, to All command.
- WindowShade can now reshade windows using the Last direction.
- Positional parameters to complex functions can now be expanded
using $[n], $[n-m], $[n-] and $[*] expressions.
- The width and height arguments of the Resize command now
accept the prefix 'w' to allow resizing relative to the
current window size.
- New command ModuleListenOnly.
- New "Periodic" option added to Schedule command.
* Bug Fixes:
- Fixed detection of running non-ICCCM2 wm (bug #3151).
- Fixed drawing of menus with the sidepic on the right.
- EdgeScroll no longer divides pixel distances >1000 by 1000.
(bug #3162).
- The configure script can now cope with four-part version
numbers when detecting some libraries.
- The WarpToWindow command followed by Move in a complex
function now uses the correct pointer position.
- The menu style TitleWarp does no longer warp the pointer for
root menus (as it is documented).
- Fixed detection of safe system version of mkstemp.
- Fixed the conditions Iconifiable, Fixed, FixedSize,
Maximizable and Closable.
- Fixed problem with window outline and placement position
running out of sync.
- FvwmConsole no longer conflicts with Cygwin stdio (bug #3772).
- FvwmGtk now configures correctly on Cygwin (bug #3772).
- Fixed tempfile vulnerabilities in FvwmCommand.
since they always need a C compiler, even when the source code is
completely in C++.
For some other packages, stated in the comment that a C compiler is
really not needed.
had actually been ignoring LTCONFIG_OVERRIDE anyway and just using
the default LIBTOOL_OVERRIDE to replace libtool scripts in packages.
This just formalizes the fact that LTCONFIG_OVERRIDE is not used
meaningfully by pkgsrc.
and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto
