80079cd343 WINGs: improve wlist widget
This patch is adding keyboard control to the wlist widget
(up/down/pgup/pgdw/home/end) and typeahead list search.
That component is for example used in the wmaker icon chooser,
and WPrefs keyboard shortcut, font conf panels.

955c6793a6 WINGs: fix memory leaks and potential buffer over-read in wfont
This patch is fixing memory leaks when pango structures are used
but not freed.
Also according to commit 4f050ebab9,
previous_text string in WMWidthOfString can be not NULL terminated,
the same construct is used in WMDrawString and WMDrawImageString
functions, so to be safe better to also check for the length
of the string.

189679b49c wmaker: don't exit wmaker if app child process errored
This patch is fixing a possible memory corruption and abnormal exit
of wmaker when a created child process errored.
This had been kind of mentioned at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1040643
and I also experienced it with especially Steam.
At first, I also thought it was a crash or a memory corruption,
but gdb or valgrind are not reporting anything.
In fact, Steam is not setting properly some hints and that is bringing
some issues. More patches will be needed to support that app properly.
For example, WM_COMMAND is not set properly and when you are trying to
relaunch the app from the appIcon the child process is generating an error
and the actual code is calling Exit(-1) which is entirely exiting wmaker,
that's why from gdb you can see the message
[Inferior 4 (process 567278) exited normally] and no crash.

e45a3bc07d wmaker: ignore mouse wheel when giving window focus
This patch is fixing a window focus issue by ignoring mouse wheel
up/down buttons. How to reproduce the issue:
open 2 xterm with one window overlapping the other, in 1 xterm list
files with ls to have the scrollbar to appear, click the other xterm
to give focus to its window, now mouse wheel up or down on the other
xterm, at that point the window is focused but under the other xterm.
Try to click left button to get it to appear on top, it will not work
cause the focus is set already on it. With that patch the click to
focus is working.

This patch is treating empty _NET_WM_ICON_NAME as unset,
thus the code is falling back to set the appicon title

the _NET_WM_ICON_NAME(UTF8_STRING) is set to empty string.

128ba2ddc7 wmaker: use appicon icons in the switchpanel when existing
This patch is making sure the icons shown in the switchpanel
are also those used for the appicon. For example, for xterm
the icon used in the switchpanel is the default app and not the
icon provided by xterm app.

7ca96b9ed6 wmaker: fix titlebar glitch issues with modelock
This patch is fixing 2 issues with the modelock language pixmap
located in the titlebar.

If wmaker is compiled with modelock support but modelock is disabled
from the expert preferences, dialog windows like run command or exit
will not show the language pixmap but will show empty frame borders.

When modelock is enabled from the expert preferences, it needs a
warm restart for the titlebars to be updated with the language pixmap.
If afterwards, modelock is disabled from the expert preferences,
any old windows that is gettting focus will be repainted and the language
pixmap will be destroyed but the empty frame borders will still be
present. Now to fully disable modelock for existing opened windows,
wmaker needs a warm restart.

839061a25a wmaker: fix window position issues
This patch is fixing some initial window position issues
as seen for example with virtualbox.
Now wmaker is not trying to manage the 1x1 app internal windows
which was resulting on some position issues (stacking the window
app on the left side).
It also fixes some window jitters issues when the app is trying
to negotiate some tiny position adjustments.

d303317a31 wmaker: handle keybinding change notifications
This patch is to fix an issue seen on FreeBSD 15 where
keybinding are mixed up at the cold start of wmaker.
It is mentioned at https://github.com/window-maker/wmaker/issues/43
Seems that issue is not happening on Linux.
A warm restart ("restart window maker") from the root menu
is getting rid of that issue temporarily.

To solve that issue, now wmaker is reloading the keyboard mapping
via the new wReadKeybindings function when a XkbNewKeyboardNotifyMask
event is received.
It means xkb, which is part of X11 core,
is now used by default and not conditionally with modelock.
I tried to delay reading the keybinding as late as possible but
it did not solve the issue as seems X is started with a improper
keyboard by default.

Here some debug trace when the bindings are loaded by wmaker on FreeBSD:

or whatever layout you are using.

ef1a504898 wrlib: alpha combine speed improvement
This patch is improving the alpha combine function by using int
instead of float. That function is used for example in the
switch panel to merge the transparency mask.
The change is practically indistinguishable to the human eye
for a single-pass blend but the performance gained is huge.

I've been doing some benchmark of wrlib and even implemented AVX2 support.
But the gain compared to the complexity of AVX2 is not worth,
while having int usage in that specific function is a really good trade-off.

Here the result:

Alpha Blending Performance Test
Image size: 1024x768 (786432 pixels)
Iterations: 100

AVX2 support: YES

=== RGBA Source Test ===
Original (float):     2.540 ms/frame  (393.8 FPS)
Optimized (int):      1.983 ms/frame  (504.2 FPS)  [1.3x speedup]
AVX2 optimized:       1.843 ms/frame  (542.6 FPS)  [1.4x speedup]

By using int, the alpha blending in that use case is 28% faster.

474b23344a wrlib: change default scaling interpolation to Catmull-Rom
This patch is implementing a new default Catmull-Rom filter
to resize images.
Catmull-Rom is a special case of cubic interpolation with B=0 and
C=0.5 (in the Mitchell-Netravali formulation).
It provides slighlty sharper results than Mitchell with the same
performance.
Catmull-Rom is a better choice for a window manager as it prioritizes
sharpness, making small elements feel crisp.

d2b2c3238b WINGs: fix cursor position in wtextfield
In case the cursor is positioned out of the textfield view
after a delete and more chars are entered, wmaker process
will reach 100% and become unresponsive.

How to reproduce:
in the run command window enter an overly long text (longer than
the current input field view). Then, press home to go back to the
beginning of the string. Then, shift-End to select all the text,
then del to delete all the text. At that point the cursor is still
out of the view and if you enter more text wmaker process will be stuck.

ac19c4bc07 Don't set X-GDM-SessionRegisters to true
Window Maker does not call the RegisterSession() method on GDM's D-Bus
interface, causing that GDM doesn't know that the login was successful,
which leads to problems. If X-GDM-SessionRegisters is not specified or
false, GDM registers the session itself.

I noticed this when I logged out from Window Maker, and tried to log
in into another session with GDM, it doesn't work, because the login
screen hangs as the previous session was not entered into registered
state within GDM.

If X-GDM-SessionRegisters=true is specified, GDM expects that the
session will be registered via D-Bus:
1c061b84ff

E.g. GNOME Shell calls RegisterSession() method after login:
0e37cd2ec9

Older versions behave the same way as would be X-GDM-SessionRegisters
not set or false.

Currently X-GDM-SessionRegisters=true is used only by GNOME Shell. All
other sessions omit this property, because they don't call the
RegisterSession() method on GDM's D-Bus interface after login.

afe13d3e72 New expert option: cycle all windows from all workspaces
Mentioned on the WMaker user mailing list, option disabled by default.

https://groups.google.com/g/wmaker-user/c/pR8P-ZYCDFo/m/Wo42U_xqBgAJ

So basically the patch is adding a new expert option in WPrefs (disabled by
default) to allow the switch panel to cycle over all the windows from all
workspaces. I believe it's useful if you are using a lot of fullscreen apps
each on different workspaces.

 "Now I cannot do a rectangular selection on the desktop with the left

 Seems the XRRQueryVersion call to get randr version is messing up with the
 X events. I tried to move up the call in src/startup.c and src/main.c
 instead to the point where the bug cannot be reproduced if I am putting the
 XRRQueryVersion code just before the call to wDefaultsInitDomain
 "WMWindowAttributes" (in src/startup.c) which is really weird."

67e2f5e1ca Prevent XAllocColor() call on TrueColor display
As reported in bug https://github.com/window-maker/wmaker/issues/50
X11 XAllocColor() call from wGetColorForColormap() in src/resources.c is returning some errors
especially seen when running GZDoom.

TrueColor display has been the dominant standard for well over a decade, meaning almost all modern X servers default to a TrueColor visual.
The default colormap is predefined and read-only, making allocation with XAllocColor() unnecessary (and meaning no need to free it too).
The patch is checking the display visual, and in case the display is truecolor, it does not allocate or free the color, just looking up for it.
Once the patch applied, GZDoom is not reporting warnings anymore.

3579c85af1 Prevent unnecessary RandR wmaker restart
As reported in bug https://github.com/window-maker/wmaker/issues/34
when RandR is enabled, everytime a monitor is turned on or off wmaker is restarting
(that happens either manually or automatically with DPMS).
This behavior causes issues with xscreensaver.

How to reproduce the issue:
-install xscreensaver and lock the screen
-turn off then on the monitor manually
-you can see that wmaker was restarted and behind the xscreensaver lock window,
the desktop appears, potentially leaking information

Instead of using the RandR event RRScreenChangeNotifyMask which is too generic,
the patch is using RRCrtcChangeNotifyMask defined since RandR 1.2 (released in 2007).
In the recent RandR version, events for output (hardware) changes are propagated via
RROutputChangeNotifyMask while layout changes (like position, size, rotation)
are propagated via RRCrtcChangeNotifyMask.

The patch is purposedly not listening for RROutputChangeNotifyMask,
thus wmaker is not restarting on DPMS events anymore.

Currently, in case a new monitor is added (or removed) wmaker is not discovering it anyway
even after an automatic restart.
Either, wmaker has to be exited and restarted fully or an external tool like arandr
has to be used to configure the new monitor. So after the patch functionality remains unchanged.
