I'm curious if the Pan Frame still has its old side-effects... If so,
it would be very helpful to be able to turn off those features.
I still use 2.0.46, but I modified a few things which bothered me. In
the distrib version, clicking inside the Pan Frame would bring up the
root-window menus, regardless of what was actually under the cursor. I
fixed this by changing PAN_FRAME_THICKNESS to 0. (this causes several
startup errors, but they don't seem to matter) Does the new version
still have this behavior? Is there a runtime option to turn it off?
The other annoying behavior which I "fixed" was the original topic. It
now allows mouse-scrolling only if the user is dragging a window over
the edge. Toying with the sources wasn't the best way to change this,
but it works... :)
A previous post said something about using 10000 instead of 100 in the
config file, to affect this... The man page says that using an
EdgeScroll of 100 * scroll_value just lets scrolling "wrap" around
Desktop edges, though (very handy... :). Does the man page leave
something out, or am I confusing two things?
