Hi,
[ I am new to this list, so please bear with me if this is a FAQ; and
please *do* tell me. I read all the doc's that I could find, but I
might easily have missed something. ]
I provide the Fvwm window manager for a few users at my university
account and I just upgraded from Fvwm 2.0.34 to Fvwm 2.0.42 on
Solaris. While doing so, I noticed a few problems:
- Fvwm fails to open windows, that contain OpenGL widgets. This
occurs both with Fvwm 2.0.34 and Fvwm 2.0.42. There is no such
problem with ol(v)wm, twm, or mwm. When trying to start the
application, the window size will be *far* too big and the
application appears to hang.
I am sorry that I cannot be more specific, as the applications all
use a proprietary library that I am not allowed to make publically
available. I will try to find more information or to alternatively
make a statically linked sample application available. Please tell
me, what would be most helpful. This is a really serious bug, that
prevents a few people from using Fvwm.
- The 2.0.42 release seems to lack some of the modules that came with
older releases. I have not yet check, if these features are now
available by other means, but a short note in the documentation
might be helpful. Besides, it appears that the old modules still
work, so why did you have to remove the source code anyways?
- FvwmButton seems to have a bug when swallowing the FvwmPager
module. When I tried to do this, the space for the pager was
allocated (4 buttons), but the pager did not show up in it. I did
not investigate this any further, as using the old version of
FvwmButton would fix this problem. I can provide more information,
if this is needed.
- I do not want to bind anything to the left mouse button, when on
the desktop background. How do I disable the default exit-menu?
Comments are very much appreciated!
So long,
Markus
