Hi,

Marc,

I tried it out a month ago, stupidly, without reading the readme.

I think something that would help people test it is the crash handler
that you mention. I restarted to get everything working again. I'd take
a look at it again if that existed. I tend to have things open and I
don't have a spare computer just for testing things like this so losing
my windows is not an option.


I understand that of course, but unfortunately I currently don't know
how a robust solution would look like and I have no time available to
investigate any further.

Thanks for looking at it anyway.

Regards,
Marc

Hi,

I randomly catch your email from spam box and I am now running the
exe, seems to work fine in my windows2000, i will try to build it with
own config.h because default keys are hard to use for me.


I agree the default setting isn't really useable.


Anyway thank you for the effort, port dwm to windows api seems really difficult.


Yes there are some quirks to work around, but as I have written it's
the first time that I have the pleasure of having to touch the win32
API.

As for people who would like to hack on it sometimes might be useful
to take a look at the blackbox for windows sources although their quite
messy.

I'm going to guess it's because his outbound (and apparently inbound)
mail is all routed through genotec.ch, which is (obviously) not the same
string as brain-dump.org.  Genotec appears to add a domain-keys header
as well, compounding the problem.


Yeah that's correct, it's just some cheap web+mail service which I use
because I'm too lazy to install and maintain my own server ;)

Shouldn't the domain key be used to verify the sender?

As for the gmail issue I don't see it here on my gmail address it just
says:

  mailed-by brain-dump.org
  signed-by genotec.ch

I compiled dwm-win32 under cygwin, and it has been stable for me since
yesterday.  I only have found one ill-behaved app (corp. jabber client),
but the rest work just fine.

I rebuilt it to set the MOD key to just ALT, and so far, so good.

[dwm] [RFC] dwm-win32

2009-03-21 Thread Marc Andre Tanner
Hi,

I have spent some time trying to port dwm to the Microsoft Windows platform.
There are still a lot of things which don't quite work as expected, see the 
README for some of them. But in the spirit of release early, release often
I am posting my current state so that other can review and improve it. 

So check it out, find and preferably fix the bugs you will surely notice. 

 [ Disclaimer: this is the first time I have had the pleasure to work 
   with the win32 api - you have been warned ]
