These are some of the fixes sent to the wmaker-dev list by
Vladimir Nadvornik, with minor modifications to address Dan
Pascu's concerns.

In commit d6c134f420 ("Do not switch
workspace to follow new windows in others") the default behavior
was changed, and workspace switching to follow focus requests was
strictly forbidden.
Although that seems to be a sane thing to do by default, that raises
concerns about whether Window Maker could be more flexible in that
respect -- allowing the user to choose which applications are or
are not allowed to do that.
This patch adds such configuration, located in the "Advanced Options"
submenu of the top-level "Attributes" menu.
New windows should only be focused if they are in the current workspace.
Not performing this check can lead to WM switching workspaces if a
window is opened which:
(a) is configured to appear in a particular workspace
and
(b) sends a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message to give focus to
something, e.g. a sub window.
This behaviour was observed with firefox if a session with more
than one tab open was restored at startup because:
"If a Client wants to activate another window, it MUST send a
_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW client message to the root window:"

[crmafra: Added comment]
The switch panel was not being destroyed with the realease of
FOCUSPREV, only with FOCUSNEXT. Fix this.
One can reproduce this bug as follows.
In the "Keyboard Shortcut Preferences" of WPrefs set "Focus next window"
to e.g. "Alt+Tab" and "Focus previous window" to "Ctrl+Tab".
The switchpanel is not destroyed if we release "Ctrl+Tab" but it
is upon releasing of "Alt+Tab".

Why?
1. The reason for its existence is to "Disable some stuff that are
duplicated in kde", and I don't think I will ever need that.
Furthermore, even the description in the configure script reads
"disable some stuff (dont use it)".
2. It makes the code uglier at some places, e.g.,
#ifdef LITE
{
#if 0
}
#endif
#else
if (!wRootMenuPerformShortcut(event)) {
#endif
which by the way is the ugliness which motivated this patch.
3. Does not even compile anymore. It fails with
CC dockedapp.o
CC event.o
event.c: In function 'executeButtonAction:
event.c:711: error: WScreen has no member named root_menu
event.c:712: error: WScreen has no member named root_menu

event.c:721: error: WScreen has no member named switch_menu

event.c:724: error: WScreen has no member named switch_menu
make[2]: *** [event.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
But instead of fixing this (it would be trivial), let's get
rid of the whole ugliness altogether.
It is safer if the functions are declared with proper
prototype specifications.
This patch addresses some of the warnings with -Wstrict-prototype,
like this:
event.c:105: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype
Daniel Déchelotte reported one problem with the escape handling in
the switchpanel:
"Start with two windows: a fullscreen one, and a smaller window
that appears above the fullscreen one. With the mouse, focus the
bigger window. Start alt-tabbing, then press Escape. The bigger
window will then be focused (good) *and raised* (small problem)."
Fix this by adding a test for the escape key before calling
raiseWindow().
There is no point in checking
if (dock_state)
if the function would have already returned with
the check if(!dock_state) right above.

Gcc-4.3.2 warns:
texture.c: In function 'wTextureMakeFunction':
texture.c:393: warning: 'fallbackColor.pixel' is used uninitialized in this function
Based on a patch by Vladimir Nadvornik.
Bug overview:
New windows are sometimes mis-placed when the "smart" algorithm is used.
How to reproduce it:
be sure (with WPrefs.app, for instance) to use the so-called "smart"
window placement algorithm. In an empty workspace, open a first window
(for instance, an xterm). The window should appear at the upper left corner.
Shade it (hide its contents below its title bar by double-clicking on it)
and select another empty workspace. Open another window. Instead of placing
it at the exact same place as the first window, wmaker places the new
window a little bit lower, or frankly to the right.
Explanation and correction:
when placing a new window, wmaker avoided all shaded windows, instead of
only avoiding the shaded windows on the active workspace.
1. Setup two windows in a workspace, one at the center and the
other at a corner. Move the mouse to the center of the screen, so
that the focus goes to the center window. Now, with the help of the
keyboard (with Alt-tab, typically), try and switch the focus to the
other window. In doing so, the switch panel shows up, gives the
focus to the other window and then disappears. However, its
disappearance make it seem to wmaker that the mouse has just
entered the center window, so wmaker gives the focus to that
window again.
2. It is a lit bit more involved. "Raise window when switching
focus with keyboard" needs to be set. In a given workspace, maximize
a first window A, then setup "above" window A two windows B and C
(one in the upper left corner and the other one in the lower right
corner, for example). Move the mouse so as to give the focus to
window B. Press the Alt key, hit the key tab once (window A moves
up to the "top"), then another time (window C is then selected).
Eventually relase the Alt key: window B is given the focus again.
Correction: it is a matter of ignoring some (EnterNotify) events
when the switch panel is active or has just been used.
Pressing the escape key (ESC) while the switchpanel is active
cancels it and gives the focus back to the window which had it
before the switchpanel was invoked.
If all windows are minimized before the switchpanel was called,
they will continue to be if ESC is pressed.
In other words, pressing ESC is like going to the parallel universe
where you never entered the switchpanel in the first place.
Based on a patch by Nicolas Bonifas from 17.08.2009.
This way we avoid code duplication in 6 places.
This changes the previous behavior of the first
instance because the helper function has an extra
CommitStacking(scr);
compared to the original code. But it should not
hurt to have it.
We can get rid of one overall tab by moving the
if(swpanel)
test -- which was done everytime in each individual case --
to the beginning, therefore encompassing all cases.

GCC has an extension to deal with ranges within case statements.
Let's use it to make the code more readable and ~5% smaller,

gcc-4.3.2 warns:
defaults.c: In function 'getModMask':
defaults.c:2586: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false
The line in question is
if (mask < 0)
and 'mask' is the return of wXModifierFromKey() which is an 'int' and can
indeed return a negative value (see src/xmodifier.c), so let 'mask' be
an 'int' too.
There is no point in having parameter in wDefaultsCheckDomains() and
not using it, so let's simply remove the parameter altogether and
avoid silly-looking things like
wDefaultsCheckDomains("bla");
gcc was complaining in a few places things like:
defaults.c:890: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned
so let's just make the loop counting variables be unsigned, as
the never get negative anyway.
I also spotted other two variables which can be unsigned too.
gcc-4.3.2 warns:
defaults.c:3136: warning: declaration of 'index' shadows a global declaration
/usr/include/string.h:309: warning: shadowed declaration is here
and in a few other places too. Fix this by renaming 'index' to 'widx'.
GCC warns:
event.c: In function 'handleDestroyNotify':
event.c:676: warning: declaration of 'index' shadows a global declaration
/usr/include/string.h:309: warning: shadowed declaration is here
event.c: In function 'handleKeyPress':
event.c:1435: warning: declaration of 'index' shadows a global declaration
/usr/include/string.h:309: warning: shadowed declaration is here
So let's rename "index" to "widx".
Note that there is a more serious shadowing in this same function,
event.c:1686: warning: declaration of 'wwin' shadows a previous local
but this is more complicated to solve.
inotifyHandleEvents() was allocating a buffer of size
(sizeof(struct inotify_event) + FILENAME_MAX)*1024
where FILENAME_MAX is #defined to be 4096 in stdio_lim.h, therefore
it was more than 4 MB!
Reduce it by using 16 instead of FILENAME_MAX and 512 instead of 1024.
Now valgrind does not complain about things like
Invalid write of size 8
at 0x42002F: inotifyHandleEvents (event.c:323)
by 0x7FF00020F: ???
Address 0x7febfc148 is on thread 1's stack
I also made some small coding style changes.
When investigating possible memory leaks with 'valgrind' I noticed
this leak report:
602 bytes in 13 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 77 of 128
at 0x4C2362E: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:207)
by 0x4576ED: wmalloc (memory.c:88)
by 0x45B4F7: wstrconcat (string.c:214)
by 0x426FC2: main (main.c:608)
which happens here,
str = wstrconcat("WMAKER_BIN_NAME=", argv[0]);
putenv(str);
There is a comment further below (in another context)
/* return of wstrconcat should not be free-ed! read putenv man page */
so this leak report is probably a false positive anyway. However,
https://www.securecoding.cert.org/confluence/display/seccode/POS34-C.+Do+not+call+putenv%28%29+with+a+pointer+to+an+automatic+variable+as+the+argument
has some nice discussion about putenv() and after reading it I decided to
use setenv() instead, making 'valgrind' happy along the way. It also
makes the code a bit simpler, avoiding a call to wstrconcat().
I also changed the name of another variable called 'str' to 'pos', just
in case.

This is a small patch to fix an issue with the switchpanel and a large number
of windows which happens only on a Xinerama setup.
When the number of open windows is so large that displaying all of them would
cause the switchpanel to be too wide for the screen, the panel is supposed to
shrink and scroll to accomodate them all.
In Window Maker 0.92.0 this works for single head displays but not for
Xinerama. The panel extends to the next head and gets garbled. This patch fixes
the issue by correctly constraining the panel to the head with the cursor.

A minor bug has been bothering me for a long time. When you maximize a
borderless window in Window Maker, the window ends up too narrow and too short
by two pixels.
Submitted-by: Gilbert Ashley <amigo@ibiblio.org>
wmaker keeps the names of all workspaces together in
the string 'buf' with fixed length of 1024, therefore
allowing buffer overflows if the number of workspaces
is big enough.
For the default names "Workspace X" (from 1 to 9)
and "Workspace XX" (from 10 to 99) etc, the approximate
number of workspaces necessary to make the buffer
overflow occur is 80, because
(11*9) + (71*12) + 80 = 1031
The fix is to set the size of 'buf' as
the maximum number of workspaces times their maximum
name length.
The problem was reported by John H. Robinson in the wmaker-dev
list ( http://lists.windowmaker.info/dev/msg00214.html ):
"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkNJZvKwmhE
Michael reported a problem with Window Maker where it crashes with a
SIGSGV when trying to create an 82nd workspace.

due to a crash (signal 11) and will be restarted.
I was able to reproduce it by making 81 workspaces, then creating an 82nd."

Actually, the whole thing is so chock full of signed vs unsigned
mixups and the assumption of all the world is 32-bit that i'm not sure
anymore that correcting them one by one is a good idea.
what would probably work best is that if someone deeply familiar with
the code (*looks in dan's general direction*) cleaned the data types
up, then legions of grunts like myself could start cleaning the rest
with relative confidence...
Here I tried to prevent the menu of windows to be displayed in the
other side of the screen if the window is half present in the screen
horizontally (ie x < 0)
a worse problem with menu is that it disappears when
the window is half present in the window vertically
ie y < 0, that makes it not usable.
This patch fixes the following warnings (with gcc 4.2.3)
defaults.c:980: warning: unused variable 'replace'
main.c:504: warning: 'watchPath' may be used uninitialized in this function
main.c:504: note: 'watchPath' was declared here
startup.c:616: warning: implicit declaration of function 'XrmUniqueQuark'
The handling of user defined shortcuts was not checking the length
of the shortcut before copying it to a fixed-length temporary buffer,
char buf[128];
strcpy(buf, shortcutDefinition);
and strcpy() is well known for not checking if overflows will occur.
In particular, wmaker was crashing here if a big 'shortcut' was defined
either through WPrefs or by directly editing the configuration files.
This is now avoided by using strncpy() instead.
And this patch also fixes a similar buffer overflow for big workspace
names too.
Furthermore, use MAX_SHORTCUT_LENGTH instead of raw number and define
it to be 32 instead of 128.
There may be issues with running applications in 64-bit mode when
they were written with tacit assumptions about 32-bit platforms.
For example,
* Assuming that a pointer can be cast back and forth to an integer
The reason is that the size of the integer and pointer may be different.
See the description of "[PATCH] Warn when casting a pointer (constant)
to an integer of different size." in the gcc mailing list
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2005-12/msg01881.html
where it was also suggested the use of casts to uintptr_t. This is
what this patch does.

This patch adds the --disable-verbose-compile switch to the
configure script.
When this option is used it reduces the verbosity of compilation
messages to the essential. However compiler warnings are not affected
and thus gain visibility by not standing in the middle of a storm
of other messages.
In summary, the compilation messages are reduced to a stream of

event handler timer.
After upgrading my kernel recently I noticed that dnotify has been
depreciated, so I decided to try and implement the new inotify code in
Window Maker instead.
During testing, I also found that one of the timers which was removed
(the one causing the most wake-ups), calling delayedAction, was
responsible for handling signals. Basically with this timer removed,
signals were only handled after an X event occurs.
After looking at the delayedAction function, I couldn't see the purpose of it.
It certainly wouldn't cause any delay as it was called by the timer every
500ms, so there is no time correlation with when a signal was received.
Also, it appeared to count the signals and call DispatchEvent for each
one, but it appears DispatchEvent would just handle the most recent signal
and take action on that. The signals handled by delayedAction are the
various exit and reset signals, so only one need to be handled. I
therefore have commented out delayedAction (it wasn't called by any other
procedure) and added a call to DispatchEvent imediately after the signal
is registered, in handleExitSig.
I'm not sure what problems this may cause with dead children - these are
only cleaned up after an Xevent now that the timer is removed- but I
haven't observed any problems since a few months ago.
