Bugs:
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Feature-wishes:
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
detect automatically if a window wants to be managed or not (should be
|
|
easy, but the -unmanaged switch works well, too)
|
|
|
|
Kill apps nicely when killed. (Some signal handling)
|
|
|
|
Make wmswallow not only accept mouseclicks on ButtonPress, but also get
|
|
some contents of the cutbuffer on (say) a middleclick, and then do
|
|
something user-defineable about it. (generic solution for wmnetselect
|
|
stuff)
|
|
|
|
Write manpage
|
|
|
|
Maybe write freebsd port
|
|
|
|
Do things reliably/the clean way
|
|
-> I mean, don't wait for some microsecs, when you can ask the app
|
|
what's up -> find out how! -> XSync seems to work...
|
|
-> Wait a second at the right moment helps some things greatly!
|
|
Still i don't know if it's the "right thing"[TM]
|
|
|
|
Problems (maybe unresolvable):
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
WindowMaker segfaults if an instance of wmswallow hangs when
|
|
the wm is restarted -> Probably windowmaker bug, but can be fixed by
|
|
better signal-handling on behalf of wmswallow
|
|
|
|
If you swallow apps on the clip *and* in the dock at the same time,
|
|
the apps for the clip wander to the dock and vice versa...
|
|
Huh? This is most strange. I fear that looks like one of
|
|
WindowMaker's many bugs.. :) (Yeah, blame it on others, good
|
|
strategy!)
|
|
|
|
Shaped apps that change their shape will look "out of sync". This is
|
|
especially visible with
|
|
wmswallow xdaliclock xdaliclock -24 -transparent -cycle \
|
|
-geometry 61x61 -fn fixed -oink-oink
|
|
There are other problems with xdaliclock -transparent (flicker, the
|
|
seconds are lagged behind respectively out of beat) which do not
|
|
depend on wmswallow and can be noticed as well, when
|
|
xdaliclock -transparent is not being swallowed.
|
|
|
|
perfmeter objects to have its mouseclicks selected
|
|
-> As a workaround, i make the XInputSelect Mask dependant on
|
|
whether the user wants to click on the window, or not. But
|
|
i'd like to do it better (i.e. force perfmeter to accept
|
|
the change)
|
|
-> In fact, for every application that selects ButtonPress
|
|
events, the same events cannot be selected twice (manpage
|
|
of XSelectInput(3))
|
|
-> It seems, this "Problem" cannot be fixed!
|
|
|
|
click works only on the surface of the swallowed window:
|
|
(Obviously, because the rest of the area belongs to the
|
|
dock... Or can that be redeemed?)
|
|
|
|
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
DONE:
|
|
Make basic dockable App
|
|
|
|
Then steal code off fvwm2 to learn how to swallow stuff
|
|
-> done.. Wow! That's easy!
|
|
|
|
Resize swallowed window appropriately
|
|
|
|
Judge what to get by following rule:
|
|
1. name
|
|
2. class
|
|
|
|
Get command to run from commandline and spawn program.
|
|
|
|
Somehow handle shaped windows (Like xeyes)
|
|
-> Ok, even resizing works
|
|
|
|
Option: -updateshape (or similar) for apps that change their shape
|
|
(like oclock -transparent)
|
|
-> is done by default behaviour! :-)
|
|
|
|
Clean up allocated space (fix memory holes)!
|
|
-> Looks ok now. Sending multiple Events under X11 has evil
|
|
effects!
|
|
|
|
Better command-line switch handling. Following commandline-switches:
|
|
-noshape/-shape : Switch shape functionality on or off
|
|
-getclick: Define commandline to exec when window is clicked
|
|
-geometry: Define geometry of swallowed application!
|
|
(Size is useful, position as well, to adjust asclock)
|
|
-id: Give Window-id to swallow
|
|
|
|
Freshmeat announcement
|
|
|
|
Let apps take keyboard focus
|
|
-> might or might not be a problem with windowmaker/dock
|
|
-> It wasn't... :-) wmMand used Enter and Leave events and then set
|
|
the focus for himself. And i blatantly stole the code... (just
|
|
2 lines...) :-)
|
|
|
|
The currently focused window flickers, when the shape gets updated.
|
|
This is especially strong with
|
|
wmswallow xdaliclock xdaliclock -24 -transparent -cycle \
|
|
-geometry 61x61 -fn fixed -oink-oink
|
|
This also interferes with focus, and it can be seen that the shape
|
|
gets updated in an unclean way, i.e. the shape and the graphics seem
|
|
"out of sync"
|
|
-> Action on Focus event shortened, XMapSubwindows and XMapWindow
|
|
weren't necessary, stealshape only grabs the shape to the
|
|
iconwin
|
|
|
|
Swallowing sometimes is unreliable (especially on WindowMaker start
|
|
with many instances) ... Why?
|
|
-> Theory: Maybe when several instances of wmswallow start,
|
|
the tree of windows gets changed in a way that sometimes a
|
|
window cannot be found anymore.
|
|
-> Jason helped a little, i figured the rest out... every
|
|
windowmanager reparents windows, and waiting for that is
|
|
very reliable...
|
|
-> done!
|
|
|
|
some apps cannot be found (xmountains). Why? xmountains in particular
|
|
seems to lack a window-id. I didn't know that was possible...
|
|
-> resolved by Jason, i did not really check the WM_NAME
|
|
|
|
just made an rpm specfile
|
