Thanks to Anders Carlsson, Elijah Newren, Rob Adams, James Cape,
Thomas Fitzimmons, Calum Benson for fixes in this release.
configuration database from beeing modified by packages that do not honour
the --disable-schemas-install option. There is no need to patch these broken
packages any more.
Okay'ed by wiz.
- tons of new translations
- add new theme Simple and make it the default
- match key handlers to key codes instead of key syms
which fixes some occasional keybinding bugs
- don't show workspace menu items if there's only one workspace
- fix fullscreen mode workaround for xine/mplayer
- fix startup sequences that use StartupWMClass
- fix 64-bit bug in async-getprop.c that caused a lockup
- put metacity-properties.c in the tarball
- don't mess up the focus window in mouse focus mode when
switching workspaces
- improve event compression to speed up window move/resize
a bit more
- don't jump mozilla windows between workspaces
- don't stick the tab/workspace-switch popup
on machines under heavy load or slow machines
- fix for #103317 (windows getting "stuck" when unfullscreened)
- support up to 32 run_command keybindings (Rob Adams)
- add compression for motion events, somewhat suboptimally,
a better patch is pending for GNOME 2.2.1, should fix "slow
move/resize" for most people (especially when combined
with Alex's nautilus fixes)
- fix configure options (Akira Tagoh)
- we were making all dialogs skip the taskbar, even non-transient
ones, though this was supposedly fixed a while ago. Now really
fixed.
- change back to Alt+click by default for the window drag feature.
- assign Alt+F12 to shade window
- fix not deleting enough workspaces when the number
was reduced via the pager config dialog (readams@hmc.edu)
- don't allow windows under the top panel ever, even if they
are tall windows (Arvind)
- fix up the window layout for directional workspace nav,
so you always stop at the edges and always end up
where you expect (hp, with tweaks from readams@hmc.edu)
- focus new windows in mouse focus mode (readams@hmc.edu)
- support xeyes, oclock, etc. by applying shape mask
to the window manager frame (yeah it resizes slow, deal)
- fix vertical/horizontal maximize
- handle crossing events resizing for more opaque resize goodness
(Soeren)
- add wacky _METACITY_UPDATE_COUNTER experimental extension
to do nice opaque resizing (does nothing without a GTK patch)
- fix a crash setting workspace names
- fix internationalized WM_NAME reading
Changes in the package:
- Use GConf2/schemas.mk to register schema files in the GConf2 database.
- Depend on gnome2-dirs to handle shared directories.
- Drop dependancy on ptl2.
- Provide a buildlink2.mk file because of the new library.
