Ah. That's really useful, Dominik! Do you have a copy of these files stored somewhere? If so, I'd love to commit them to git as it's yet more interesting pieces of information. > Unfortunately the cvs server is gone, so I can't look up which > commit added it. Is there any git copy of 2.4 floating around? Well, I've just been looking at: https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm >From the history, it seems this commit introduced making the raise hack global: commit 05d948c19b91992ad7f5199d6ee9f6dfcff1ea52 Author: Matthias Clasen <cla...@mathematik.uni-freiburg.de> Date: Sat Apr 17 22:04:25 1999 +0000 remove NON_VIRTUAL, make the raise-over-native-windows hack a global option. But what I can't tell from the history is when that list of servers appeared. It just seems to have "existed" at the point Matthias included them in that commit. There may have been discussions elsewhere which I can't tell just from looking at the code... Thanks, Dominik. :) -- Thomas Adam
