Fvwm-2.4.9 is a maintenance release for the earlier stable 2.4.x versions. It fixes a number of minor bugs and problems.
The release is available at the fvwm home page: http://www.fvwm.org/ Who needs it? ------------- Normal users should upgrade if they encountered any problems on the list below. System administrators are encouraged to move to 2.4.9. Improvements and compatibility issues: -------------------------------------- * Restored old way of handling clicks in windows with ClickToFocus and ClickToFocusPassesClickOff. This fixes a problem with click+drag in an unfocused rxvt or aterm window. * DESTDIR may be fully used again (only useful for distributors). * Applications using Mwm hints can now enforce that a window can not be moved. * fvwm-menu-headlines: added support for CNN and BBC headlines. Bug fixes: ---------- * Fixed interaction bug between CascadePlacement and StartsOnPage - if the target page was at a negative x or y page displacement from the current viewport, the window would be placed on the wrong page. * Fixed a problem with colormap transition when a transient window died. * Fixed a FvwmScript crash with Swallow widget and very long window names. * Fixed problems with $fg and $bg variables in FvwmButtons when the UseOld option was used. * Fixed wrong warp coordinates when WarpToWindow was used with two arguments on an unmanaged window. * Added a workaround for popup menus in TK applications that appear on some random position. * Fixed problems with wish scripts creating windows that start iconic. * Fixed the NoClose option with unmapped panels in FvwmButtons. * A number of drawing fixes in FvwmPager. * Fixed a slight bug when waiting until all buttons are released, for example after executing a complex function. * Fixed potentially harmful change in module interface. * Fixed displaying menu items with icons when using the MenuStyle SubmmenusLeft. * Fixed problems with the pointer moving off screen in a multi head setup. * Fixed a potential crash with windows being destroyed during a recapture operation. * Fixed a memory leak in some modules when not using glibc. * Fixed negative arguments of WarpToWindow when used on an unmanaged window. * Fixed a key binding problem with key symbols that are generated by several keys. * Fixed a possible crash when a window was recaptured and the focus could not be transfered to another window. * Fixed a performance problem with large numbers of mouse binding commands. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
