Package: fspanel Version: 0.7-10 When using a contemporary fluxbox (1.3.2) as window manager, fspanel fails in at least two ways: 1. It gets hidden by other windows, although it should be on top of everything but fullscreen apps. 2. The two up/down buttons to switch desktops don't work.
Note that this still worked with fluxbox 1.1. However, I'm not filing this against fluxbox, because they simply "Removed (obsolete) Gnome window manager hints" (quoting their changelog). fspanel should instead use EWMH[1] to set itself on top and to switch desktops. Also, one by one, other WMs will also drop support for this, so this isn't only a problem with fluxbox. I'm currently facing similar bugs in a different program (cobweb panel, not yet packaged in Debian). I've already fixed issue 1 above, maybe I'll backport the patch from XCB to Xlib, unless someone beats me to it. Cheers!
