Hi,
I recently updated my Debian Linux Box.
And so I got version 2.5.12 of fvwm installed.
After starting X11 with the new fvwm and my old working configuration
for 2.5.x FvwmButtons hangs using 99percent of CPU time.
And, after moving a window (in not opaque style), seems to freeze fvwm
for some seconds. And so, giving after the freeze following error message
(the only on in the whole .xsession-errors file):
----------------------------
FVWM][FlushMessageQueue]: <<ERROR>> Failed to write descriptor to 'FvwmButtons':
- select rc=0
- terminate signal=N
---------------------------
So I installed, just for testing, version 2.5.8 from www.fvwm.org, the problem
had gone.
Some days later I was watching a movie with mplayer, I realised that the fullscreen
window of it did not pop up in front of every window (somewhere above Layer 7),
but stayed at Layer 4, hidden by FvwmButtons which stays fixed at Layer 7.
I hadn't changed the mplayer version for months, so I don't think it is an mplayer
problem. And gqview has the same problem now. :-(
So I think it could possibly be fvwms problem, am I right?
Is there a possibility to make fullscreen windows go to the very top, maybe with
scripting (but only if the window is truly in fullscreen mode)?
PS: Now I'm using fvwm 2.5.8 on an Debian-testing-Linux x86 Box,
with XFree86 Version 4.3.99.12.
