Bug#11824: Bugs fixed etc. in FVWM 2.2

[Julian Gilbey <J.D.Gilbey@qmw.ac.uk>]

The following bugs should have been fixed or similar in the new fvwm
package, which has just been installed.  (It is version 2.2-1.)  Also
listed are a couple of bugs/wishlist items which appear unlikely to be
fixed for the time being.

Please let me know if there are still problems with these bugs or,
indeed, any others.

FIXED
 5736  "Restart  /usr/bin/X11/afterstep" with two spaces doesn't
       work. 

FIXED
10862  Window order messed up on restarting fvwm; patch available
       (already forwarded?)

FIXED
11824a Give focus to a window (Sloppy focus) and immediately call up a
       menu in window => menu ends up buried as main window gains
       focus (FvwmAuto too slow or something?).

FIXED
11861  Bad default main-menu-pre.hook

NOT OBSERVED UPSTREAM
11886a Sometimes the pager does not display a mapped window until it
       is moved.

FIXED
11886c RaiseLower sometimes lowers not fully-raised windows instead of
       raising them.

FIXED
16143  Apparent interaction between WinList and having handles/
       non-zero BorderWidth causes WinList to drift.

FIXED
18576  FvwmButtons doesn't exit and eats all processor time when
       leaving X with ctl-alt-bksp.

FIXED
20444  Restarting fvwm seems to shift some windows slightly; perhaps
       to do with miscalculating the save set?  Something to do with
       non-zero border width?

FIXED
20831  Pager balloon patch: shows balloons when over a window in the
       pager.  (Wishlist; patch included.)

FIXED (with ColorLimit in config file)
22286  Problems with colourful menu icons on an 8-bit display; should
       fvwm2 be responsible for filtering them to a small colour set?

FIXED
24135  Purging fvwm2 doesn't remove all files.

FIXED
32796  Path problems in menu file and hook files missing.

FIXED
32939  Contains /usr/bin but doesn't use it.

FIXED
33109  Registers itself as icewm.

FIXED
33755  Should have used register-windows-manager

FIXED
34149  Same as 32796


"CLOSE AS FIXED" (BUT WHO KNOWS WHAT'S UP WITH BINDINGS)
18003  Irregularities for key bindings for Tab etc; C-M-Tab doesn't
       seem to work properly; want Mouse 2 I A Iconify in
       system.fvwm2rc; what happened to C/M-<arrow key>?  (Debian specific?)

FIXED
21097  Gravity patch for IconBox wanted in main fvwm2.

FIXED
32795  FvwmPager should be started before user's post.hook in
       system.fvwm2rc.  (Debian specific?)

WON'T BE FIXED -- TOO WIDGET SPECIFIC
 8785  FVWM unaware of ability to drag windows around by using their
       static areas if they are Athena widgets.

MOVEMENT: middle mouse button; wordwrap: probably not
 8954  FvwmPager should allow windows to be moved in it => windows
       moving in main window.  Also, could wordwrap titles in Pager.

DONE (except for default?)
14791  MenuStyle should default to fvwm, not mwm.  The behaviour of
       menus at the right side of the screen could do with
       improvement.

SHOULD BE FIXED
21547  Root menu bound to button with "Mouse 0 3 A Menu /Debian Nop",
       but then submenus' positions depend on where button clicked --
       may end up too far left/right.  Only problem with MWM style?

CAN'T/WONT FIX:
  Not the responsibility of the Windows manager, but of the X Server.
  Also, can't be done in a way which makes all applications happy.
25601  Would like a possibility of keyboard mouse button emulation.


fvwm-common bugs
----------------

FIXED
11495  All sorts of copyright problems which need to be addressed.


Wishlist items - forwarded to fvwm-workers (!)
----------------------------------------------

This has not been incorporated yet -- maybe one day?
27276  Internationalisation patch (included) -- from fvwm-users-jp
       mailing list.
