Hi, y'all!
I have been using fvwm 2.0.38/39 for quite a while without any
problems on my SGI Indigo w/ IRIX 5.3 now.
Yesterday I decided to add mini icons to my menus. When I reread
the menu definitions after doing all my changes I had to wait
forever (>15 seconds) until they were read in. Withouth the
mini icons it never took longer than 2-3 seconds.
Of course it's taking just as long when I first log in or when
I restart fvwm.
Is this 'normal', i.e. does it have to take so long to read in
a few mini icons? I wonder why nobody else has complained about
this before. Could it be that it's happening just for me?
Maybe I am doing something wrong, though. There are quite a few
colors in those mini icons. Could that be slowing it down?
For benchmarking I took out the following menu, and read it in
separetly:
DestroyMenu Pictures

+ "%mini.escher.xpm%Escher" XSETROOT_b /usr/include/X11/bitmaps/escherknot -bg "sgi slate blue" -fg Blue4
Those macros are defined elsewhere:
############################ Some Macros #################################
AddToFunc XV_Back "I" exec xv_3 -root -rmode $0 -quit -noresetroot $1
AddToFunc XV_Back_Sp "I" exec xv_3 -root -rmode $0 -quit -noresetroot /home/spiegl/pic/$1
AddToFunc XSETROOT_s "I" exec xsetroot -solid $0
AddToFunc XSETROOT_b "I" exec xsetroot -bitmap $0 $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8
I found that it takes about 5 seconds to read and process
those lines.
Please comment!
Bye,
Andy.
PS: Ceterum censeo: Cheers to Rob, Chuck and all other contributors!
