FVWM: Vector buttons viewer
Hi, I've concocted a (very) simple JS viewer for FVWM vector buttons: http://bit.ly/aQjnd4. It uses a canvas element for drawing (doesn't work in IE). Theoretically, you may found it useful even for creating vector buttons. There is no server code, so it is possible just save the html page with the javascript and use the viewer locally. -- f01bc740c9b387cd67d2201d342906d6
Re: FVWM: 2.5.29 released.
Thomas Adam tho...@xteddy.org writes: Hello all, As promised earlier, FVWM 2.5.29 has been released. This features a number of bug fixes, as well as support for better tiling windows on-the-fly rather than using FvwmRearrange. There is also a watchdog process built in to FVWM which will automatically restart FVWM should it ever crash, for extra stability. Looking forward to playing with this one after Easter! Many thanks to all concerned :-) atb Glyn

Oh yeah, forgot about you being from England. Makes sense now. In my defense, at least I didn't believe it. I think this is an email that had me confused on day one, disbelieving on day two, and tomorrow it will be the funniest email ever.
CVS tadam: Tweak placement calculation for over-zealous windows.
CVSROOT:/home/cvs/fvwm Module name:fvwm Changes by: tadam 10/04/02 21:01:07 Modified files: . : ChangeLog fvwm : placement.c Log message: Tweak placement calculation for over-zealous windows. Don't adjust a window's position unless it's actually greater than the screen's dimension (i.e., potentially placed off screen.) This avoids annoying blind spots where windows would otherwise have been placed at the bottom edge of the screen; quite legitimately.

You mentioning gnome-settings-daemon reminded me to bring this up again. I don't have the old emails but a while back I asked about what it took to get the pulseaudio daemon running when starting with a .xinitrc from runlevel 3. For a while I just started the pulse daemon and some chmods in /dev/snd to get everything to work. Then I found that permissions on my USB devices weren't right either. Then I ran across what I believe was the crux of the problem. I believe the various flavors of xdm start the WM using ck-xinit-session. I no longer have to start pulseaudio from my .xinitrc, but I did have to put some ugly logic at the front of my .xinitrc: if [ -f /usr/bin/ck-xinit-session ] ; then if [ $1 = startsess ] ; then shift else exec ck-xinit-session /home/dane/.xinitrc startsess fi fi I start a number of applications from .xinitrc and this seemed like the simplest way to get everything running inside the environment created by ck-xinit-session. I've added this to the FvwmWiki. Thanks! -- Thomas Adam
