The original code merely assumed that an XOpenDisplay failure was caused
only by incapacity to connect to the X server, but if $DISPLAY was not set
then the fprintf would be given a NULL pointer which it may not appreciate
(depending on the libc in use).
Let's avoid that case and try to provide more info to help the user.

It may not be easy to understand how channels are names, particularly
when user wants to use a name to exclude a channel from the GUI. This
new sections answers all those questions.

This is handy to let the user know about the possible strange behaviour he
may encounter and some limitations.

This includes detailing more files of interest to user, spell-checking and
appearance, and few other things.

This allows easier review/fix/patches. Furthermore, not all man tools
support compression and some distribution may use other compression
algorithm (bzip2, ...), so this should be handled at install time.

wmbutton will happily start and display what otherwise looks like a
functioning display even if none of the possible configuration files
exist. However, the application promptly exits as soon as it has to show
a tooltip. This isn't nice. It looks like a crash to an unsuspecting
user. Terminal output is shown, of course, leading to a decently quick
diagnostic, but the fail isn't early enough to be useable.
The trivial fix is to check if the local configuration file (specified
as a command line argument or defaulting to ~/.wmbutton) or the global
configuration file can be open. If neither can be open, we bail out
early.
This *still* has the problem of only really being functional in a
terminal. A graphical error box would definitely be preferable and is a
possible improvement.

- When executing a command, control flow would fall through to the
display cycle code, changing the display.
- When display cycling was prevented by the user (via -l), command
execution was also disabled.
Enough patches have been made over the years to the wmtime Debian
package that I have decided to incorporate these changes into
an official upstream release.
Some updates to the documentation have been made to reflect the
changes.
When non-Latin alphabet characters are encountered in weekday and month names, the English defaults are used. This closes Debian bug #726125.
Also, numbers are now printed when encountered in weekday and month names (e.g., Swahili).
The Makefile of wmtime had to be patched in order for CFLAGS
not to be redefined by the Makefile but to use the CFLAGS
passed by debhelper and add additional flags through
string concatenation. LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS weren't passed
at all and have been added to the linker command line.
Patch by John Paul Adrian Glaubitz <glaubitz@physik.fu-berlin.de>,
from Debian package.
I wanted to use it on Solaris which has different way to obtain system
statistics. I build a support file and changed Makefile to take the
operating system into account.
Then I moved to fixing the widget. The comments in the code said that
it supports only 2 CPUs. I've added an aggregation so that it still
shows two graphs but represents all CPUs.
Lastly, I some programmatic flaws - like multiple loops for one task -
cleaning up the code a bit. It should also speed up the widget a
little.

Hi,
the package wmtime claims that it supports localization. Looking into the code,
it seems more like date customization.
When claiming "localization", it should work as such - respecting LANG, LC_ALL,
etc. environment variables and use locales for the day and month abbreviations.
Please see my patch which adds such support.
Regards,
Milan Cermak

wmtime draws a small amount of garbage to the screen when -noseconds is
given, because DrawTime reads beyond the given string buffer. This
doesn't trigger all the time for me (I assume due to the nondeterminism
of reading uninitialized memory or something), but it pretty clearly
happens if I switch VTs.
The attached patch limits the amount of the formatted string we try to
read, so we don't read beyond the end of the string. Fixes it for me.

The current Makefile script doesn't work properly, because the path
for /etc doesn't use DESTDIR and the installation path for $(DESTDIR)/usr/bin
is not created before installing the binary file in the folder.
LDFLAGS are needed in some distros to build the package, for example Debian.
This patch solves these problems.
