Re: A few problem with latest SVN stuff

2009-11-12 Thread Riccardo Mottola

Hi,

* 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.
  


I already made the field editable again, now Gregory also fixed the 
autocompletion (I actually broke it when moving the object 
initialization to Gorm).

Only the English language file got updated.

Hi,

it, which means I can't actually enter the applications I want run.

  
I fixed that (only for the English Gorms btw, if someone wants to help 
putting the other language up-to-date...)

The same problem affected also open with.
However, looking a the code, the FIeld should be a CompletionField 
which doesn't seem to work for me or I didn't understand how it should work.



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.

  
GIven that you also have problems with GWorkspace, something with your 
preferences seems strange.

The defaults name is inedeed deprecated, SystemPreferences has been updated.

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.

  
I can't reproduce that on the machine where I am now, but I do have lots 
of strange/older computers and see what I can get out.

I tried on cairo on my 1.8Ghz computer with a nVidia card with its 
drivers in Xorg. SO it should be fast.


What I noticed is:
- if I only have GNustep windows open, like gworkspace and then move a 
terminal, everything is quite fast
- if the gnustep window is over a foreign window (in my case over the 
browser, which is GTk2) it becomes sluggish. And I mean really. I don't 
even want to test on a 100Mhz cpu or so, it would be unbearable.

 Yes... Isn't that correct? It works for me... except on Windows
 
 I thought it got changed to something along the lines:
 GSBackendHandlesWindowDecoration, or something like that, don't quote me on
 it.  Fred should be able to say exactly what it is.

Looks like Richard already corrected this in SVN. SystemPreferences does
the right thing now and the windows backend behaves no the same as the
x11 one.

Thank you Richard!

A few problem with latest SVN stuff

2009-11-08 Thread Stef Bidi
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

Let me know if I need to clarify anything or if I should file a bug report.

Hi,

the things you describe should be backend-independent. I use xlib on my 
laptop too, btw.

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.
  

Do you refer to the Dock or the Tabbed Shelf?

* 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.

  

I can reproduce that.

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.
  

Works for me!

* This is just one thing I noticed, isn't GSX11HandlesWindowDecoration
depricated?  SystemPreferences still has it that way.
  

Yes... Isn't that correct? It works for me... except on Windows
