Today I tried to upgrade fvwm 2.2.5 to the recent version of fvwm. I have a
bunch of tcl/tk scripts (running 8.3.2), that used to work in 2.2.5, but don't
in 2.4.8. The problem is when I try to either center windows or to make them
popup under the cursor. The tcl interpreter seems to get no information when to
repaint the window. I sometimes get windows which are not painted at all (no
widgets). This happens basically when I try to popup a toplevel window under the
cursor. If the window is not resizable and not closeable and I press the
iconify button of the windowmanager the content of the window gets painted, but
before the window is empty.
The don't close/iconify stuff is:
proc noclose win {
wm protocol $win WM_DELETE_WINDOW { }
wm resizable $win 0 0
bind $win <Unmap> "wm deiconify $win"
}
the popup function is basically update idletasks following the standard
calculation like on the Tcl Wiki page "Centering a window"
http://mini.net/tcl/1254.
I had no time yet to track that down, have to do that tomorrow, but has anyone
else encountered that problem ?
