I've been trying to use as many GNUstep applications as possible on a little
test install that I have going on here and am running into a few problems.
These are just the problems with GWorkspace, and I don't know if it's
something I'm going or if they are bugs (everything used to work) and
WindowMaker. I've installed everything from SVN yesterday (Sat Nov 7), so
the code is fairly up to date. I'm also using the xlib backend (if that
helps).
Anyway, this is what in GWorkspace:
* GWorkspace's dock doesn't "save" what applications have been docked across
restarts. That is, if I dock a bunch of applications, then log off using
the "Logout" menu item, then restart the session I'll be presented with an
empty dock, again.
* The "Run" panel's ("Tools"->"Run...") text field does not allow me to edit
it, which means I can't actually enter the applications I want run.
In SystemPreferences:
* The "Apply" button on the themes preferences doesn't actually work. If I
hit apply, SystemPreferences' theme will change, however the default will
not be written, which means no other application actually gets the new
theme. If I restart SystemPreferences I'll be presented with the old theme.
* This is just one thing I noticed, isn't GSX11HandlesWindowDecoration
depricated? SystemPreferences still has it that way.
In general:
* I set GSX11HandlesWindowDecoration to NO (have GNUstep draw the borders)
and moving windows are extremely slow. I'm on a 500MHz PC, so it's really
noticable. If I let WindowMaker decorate the window moving it around is
really smooth, but when GNUstep is decorating them it's painfully slow. If
I move the mouse fast enough (to one end or another of the screen) the
window lags behind. I'll make a note here that I remember this also being
an issue when I was on a 2.5GHz PC, just not as noticable there.
Let me know if I need to clarify anything or if I should file a bug report.
