Hi everyone (and happily we are A LOT!)

Even I still didn't sleep this week and even still I have waaay long to
work on some annoying urgent projects, I was REALLY excited to receive
this evening the announce of 2.0.44 from Chuck.

Well, I'm enchanted and enlightened :-). Quite a BIG job, so well done
by all of you bussy fwvm-workers. A heartly THANKS for Chuck Hines.

So, I compiled and installed the new version without any hick-ups. I had
already all the beautiful/useful patches about styles and
functionalities which are so carefully mentionned by Chuck in the
announcement. I am pleased to say that the new binary restarted with my
old .fvwm2rc without any major error.

The only misfunction I was able to detect so far is that the FvwmAuto
module fails silently to keep along with the imposed timeout.

More precisely, when one starts or restarts fvwm2, the autoraise occurs
AFTER the indicated timeout only for the first window which gains the
focus. After that the autoraise takes place instantly at the focus
change.

I tried to impose Nop for LeaveCommand, but unsuccessfully. So, until
new (upgrade :-) events I put back the old FvwmAuto.

Now a little thing. It will be too hard to put a compile time selectable
functionality in FvwmButtons which to provide ... tooltips on buttons
according to the Action's Titles? I once begun myself to look at the
code but meanwhile my time begun very (physically :-) transparent ... I
would like this because I use some 17 20x20 buttons with SouthEast
gravity in which I have calls for all my most useful applications and
also a very little (and cute) swallowed pager. Such little buttons can't
have titles on them. But almost each button has actions on all three
mouse click events and so it happens that sometimes I have to remember
what is where.

So, this very long and quite annoying post finishes here. Thanks again
to all of you that spent time on this excellent WM. I really like it.

"See" you later

                                Cristian
