I can confirm that. gui-0.12 worked for me as well.
run an app in my X environment, it start spawning a window a large
number of times over and over again (basically, it appears as a
small
window flickering) for about two seconds. After that the app starts
up normally. Any subsequent app launching (of either the same app or
different ones) doesn't cause the flickering anymore. Any
This I have seen as well, but i occurs in -gui-0.12, too. I think
it is somehow related to Étoilé as I watched this flicker appear
the first time after installing Étoilé.
No, it isn't Etoile. This is the test used by GNUstep to find out
about
the window borders. The idea here is to check all combination of
border
settings once and to store the resulting window borders for these.
The
values get cached on the root window, that is why you see it only for
one GNUstep applications. This wont be needed in the future, when
more
and more window manager will adopt the new _NET_REQUEST_FRAME_EXTENTS
protocol. The code for this is already in GNUstep, just try it
once with
Gnome.
I patched my version of GNUstep to draw the flickering windows off
the screen and suffered no ill effects.
Yes, the only problem with that is that, if the window is off-screen,
the window manager is under no obligation to decorate it ... so
whether or not it works is window-manager dependent.
That being said, as the common window-managers seem to decorate the
window whether it's off-screen or not, perhaps the best thing to do
would be to create the windows off-screen normally, and have an
NSUserDefault value to tell the backend to do it on-screen so that
people can try that if the off-screen method doesn't work with their
window manager.
