Hi,
For some time, I have been using fvwm 2.3.6 built under Cygwin on Windows
NT/2K with the Exceed 6.2 X-server (multi-window mode). I recently upgraded
to the latest version (2.3.31). First let me congratulate you on a perfect
build: it compiled and ran out of the box with no errors, the new sample-95
configuration procedure ran like a dream, and a number of problems I had
become accustomed to with the old version are now cured. Unfortunately a few
new ones (not in fvwm 2.3.6) seem to have crept in:-
1) I use ClickToFocus. This mostly works correctly with X and native windows
together, but if the active X-window is behind a native window, it is raised
if the cursor moves over it (rather like MouseFocus). I tried turning on
BugOpts RaiseOverNativeWindows, but this doesn't seem to make any difference
(I guess it's switched on automatically). As one might expect, turning it
off prevents X-windows being raised over the native window at all (even by a
click).
2) Deiconising or switching to a window (by menu or taskbar) does an
annoying full screen refresh. This doesn't happen when the window is
selected by just clicking on it.
3) In my FvwmButtons (edited a little to conform to the new syntax) I have
buttons like
*BarButtons(Title XTerm, Icon rterm.xpm, Action `Exec "XTerm" exec
xterm`)
which I think should mean that the button remains shown as depressed until
the XTerm window appears (this is what used to happen). Now the button is
only shown depressed as long as mouse button is down. Is this a new bug, or
am I using the wrong syntax?
Thanks,
Tim.
