Ok, then it's understandable. This version will then be limited to this
specific version of libX11.

Ok, noted, and I will look them through when I can.

BTW, I'm sorry for the statement about the - correctly named - "Exec Line
Hint" dots - they _do_ show up correctly and with a useful size now. I just
didn't realize that they are only shown when you _execute_ the program, not
already after compilation. When I tried your correction, I just recompiled,
but didn't attempt to start the program, and thus there were no markers to
be seen... Sorry again.

Right now I'm struggling with the working of modal dialogs, as I attempted
to extend my "FileRequest" dialog program to allow for execution of an
external program file-by-file, with the option to select per file whether
the action should be executed.

Sadly, to no avail as yet. And this is not at all due to any of the recent
modifications - the same misbehaviour also happens with the "eon old" 4.6.2
release of mseide!

I got it to work in two failure modes by now. Both modes only work with the
additional window option "wo_terminateonclose" set, otherwise the dialog
window doesn't show at all.

Setting the window option "fo_createmodal" for the dialog window, it first
displays an uninitialized dialog window that has to be closed explicitely,
only then the real dialog shows up and does what it's supposed to do.

Setting the window option "fo_modal" (without "create") for the dialog
window, it does show up corretly the first time, without the extraneous
uninitialized display before, but after that, it never shows up again and
always returns the (modal) result "mr_none".

I wasn't able yet to find any useful information even following the long
convoluted way through the host of functions that ought to manage window
construction, display, handling and removal, they're just to many and just
to intricately woven together.

And that's a barricade for my advance with the new mseide right now.
