Package: swisswatch
Version: 0.6-12
Severity: important
The original README in the swisswatch distribution says
"Under X11R5, you can use the resource editor to interactively change
colors and shapes of the graphical elements of the clock."
but if i
1. launch swisswatch
2. launch editres
3. in editres, use the "Commands->Get Tree" menu entry
4. click on swisswatch
editres first tell me
Message sent to client asking for widget tree,
and later
It appears that this client does not understand the editres protocol.
this behaviour appears in contrast with the README's statement i quoted
above
