Package: grace Version: 1:5.1.25-7+b1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
xmgrace's UI got slightly inferior since version 1:5.1.25-6: The menu accelerators have dissapreared, the font is less fitting. Actually, I beg to differ regarding bug #727796 and its fix. The Xresources hardcoded in xmgrace.c are *fallback* resources, employed via XtAppSetFallbackResources(). They can be and *are* overriden by user specified Xresources (I don't know why this didn't work in the bug reporter's case). What's a bit annoying: *All* of them are dismissed as soon as a resource file is given, even an empty one. This can be verified nicely in version 1:5.1.23-3: Without an /etc/X11/app-defaults/XMgrace, the UI has colors, a nice font, and menu accelerators. With an empty /etc/X11/app-defaults/XMgrace, it is b/w, has a monospaced font and no menu accelerators. Unfortunately, with the /etc/X11/app-defaults/XMgrace shipped since version 1:5.1.23-6, it has colors, but still the monospaced font and still no menu accelerators. This I consider a regression. My suggestion: Don't cripple the fallback resources in the code and instead of supplying a deficient /etc/X11/app-defaults/XMgrace, provide an example in the docs. The example file could contain precisely the fallback values, then the user could edit just the relevant bits. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.5.5-towo.1-siduction-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages grace depends on: ii fontconfig 2.13.1-3 ii gsfonts 1:8.11+urwcyr1.0.7~pre44-4.4 ii libc6 2.30-4 ii libfftw3-double3 3.3.8-2 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.5.2-2+b1 ii libnetcdf15 1:4.7.3-1+b1 ii libpng16-16 1.6.37-2 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.9-2 ii libxbae4m 4.60.4-7+b11 ii libxm4 2.3.8-2 ii libxmhtml1.1 1.1.10-3 ii libxmu6 2:1.1.2-2+b3 ii libxpm4 1:3.5.12-1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.5-1+b3 ii xterm 353-1 Versions of packages grace recommends: ii xfonts-100dpi 1:1.0.4+nmu1 Versions of packages grace suggests: ii gconf2 3.2.6-6 ii ghostscript 9.52~dfsg-1 pn texlive-extra-utils <none> -- no debconf information
