I use wmswallow and aterm together to get a little terminal in the slit. here's the lines from my .xinitrc:
aterm -sh 60 -tr -ls -fn 6x10 -g 10x6 -cr green -fg green +sb -name dockterm& /usr/local/bin/wmswallow -focus -geom 64x64 dockterm& used to work great, but at least in alpha4 and alpha6, the wmswallow thinks it has swallowed aterm, but the aterm is still floating around as a regular window, with decorations and all. there is a white square in the slit where the aterm should be. if i change to another workspace and put the mouse in the white square, wmswallow crashes with this message: X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 42 (X_SetInputFocus) Serial number of failed request: 310 Current serial number in output stream: 310 I tried alpha6 since there was some slit tweaking, but it didn't fix it. in alpha6 i got a new problem: bbmail shows up on the opposite side of the screen from my slit! it shows up on all desktops, just away from the slit. if i bring up the bbmail menu by right-clicking on the envelope, the menu pops up where you would expect it to be if bbmail was actually in the slit. i run bbmail like this: ssh ocotillo /usr/local/bin/bbmail -w (my mail comes in on ocotillo and i display it remotely on my workstation) let me know if you need more details On Tue, May 21, 2002 at 01:12:25PM -0700, Sean 'Shaleh' Perry wrote: > To fix the simple coding error in alpha5 I have released alpha6. > > The only difference is a change to the way a container is accessed so if you > have alpha5 and it compiles don't sweat it.
