When using Xinerama, make it possible only to cycle between those
windows that are on the currently active head - AFAICT this means
windows that have the majority of their area on the same head as
the pointer.
Patch complete with WPrefs integration, alas this being quite
unusable - for a lack of a better idea, I tucked the option on the
expert panel, making the item list too tall - making it scrollable
would be a nice addition.
The default for the new option (CycleActiveHeadOnly) should be NO,
that is, no change in default behaviour.
WindowMaker.h already #includes wconfig.h, which checks exactly
the same thing. So remove it from WindowMaker.h.
However, it would be better if WindowMaker.h didn't include
wconfig.h at all. The only reason I see for the inclusion is
the check for KEEP_XKB_LOCK_STATUS, defined in wconfig.h.
But that can be probably cleaned up too (I guess modern X's
enable XKB stuff that by default, by I haven't checked)
But anyway.
Even the option to enable "virtual desktop" in configure.ac was
commented out...and I would never intend to use it anyway.
So let's just remove the ~800 lines of #ifdef'ed code to have a
cleaner code base to read when bored.
This patch adds the ability to resize windows with the mouse wheel
while holding the Mod key. This currently ignores wWindowConstrainSize
until I can figure out a way to repeatably resize windows with
fixed size increments (like xterm) using this method.
This also adds a slider to WPrefs to choose the increment with which
the wheel will resize a window.
Two reasons for removing it:
1) I won't ever want to hear useless sounds
2) The sound support is a bit of a joke. The code is there but you have
to hunt it somewhere else (not in any repository that I know of).
In my 10 years of using wmaker, I never used it for this reason.
Now I consider having no sound in Window Maker a feature, and I like
it that way. So there is no point in carrying useless code around.
PS: There is still the code in WPrefs to be removed.
This patch adds history to some dialog boxes. To use it replace %a with
%A in menu file (like in "Run..." menu item). You can specify third
parameter to %A to use different histories for differen dialogs.
All history files is kept in ~/GNUstep/.AppInfo/WindowMaker/ and the number of
history lines controlled by DialogHistoryLines parameter (one for
all dialogs) defaults to 500 lines.
It also adds Tab completion.

This patch is from the contrib directory. It adds an option to allow starting
DockApps with a single click. It's a handy option that adds only a few lines to
the code.
It is a good feature patch example because it includes modifications
to the WPrefs application so that the feature can be easily enabled or
disabled. The one-click ability allows wmaker to integrate more seemlessly with
programs like ROX-Filer which can be configured to use single or double click
actions.

This patch removes wmaker from PowerTop's shame list, where
it appeared with ~3-4 wakeups/second.
It adds the linux kernel's dnotify mechanism (adapted from
the example in Documentation/dnotify.txt in the kernel source),
to detect when a configuration file in ~/GNUStep/Defaults has
changed to load it again on-the-fly. For me it usually means that
modifications to ~/GNUStep/Defaults/WMRootMenu via the 'genmenu'
script are automatically detected and loaded.
The use of dnotify makes the ancient behaviour of polling unecessary
and cuts down the wakeups count.
Other 'apparently' useless timers are also deleted and it's been almost
one year now that I use this patched exclusively without problems, so
I am pretty sure that it doesn't hurt to remove them.
The end result of all this is that wmaker generates 0 (zero) wakeups
when idle in a Linux system.

- Fixed the signal handler for crashes (ie, removed it) and made wmaker
restarting be made automatically by a monitoring process.
- Made NetWM support be enabled by default
- Removed old code to store/restore workspace state (now relies on netwm)
- Fixed bug in icon chooser dialog that could cause a segmentation fault
in some cases (Pascal Hofstee <caelian@gmail.com>)
- Fixed crash in asm code in wrlib, with new versions of gcc.
- Fixed bug in the x86_PseudoColor_32_to_8() function which incorrectly
used the r, g, b fields in the conversion.
- Fixed x86 ASM code in wrlib to work on 64 bit architectures.
- Fixed the focus flicker seen with some apps (notably gtk2)
(Alexey Spiridonov <snarkmaster@gmail.com>)
- Fixed all crashing bugs that were generated by wmaker starting with the
WMState file missing.
- Added NetWM support (a modified version of the patch originaly written
by Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Applied patch to enhance the Virtual Desktop behaviour, and to integrate
it with the NetWM code (Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Applied a few xinerama and placement fixes (Peter Zijlstra
<a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Fixed memory leak in dock code.
- Fixed and enhanced the text wrapping in WINGs.
- Fixed the layout of some elements in WPrefs.app
- Added workaround for aplications that don't set the required hints on the
client leader window, but they set them on normal windows (observer with
KDE 3.3.0 mainly). This will allow these apps to get an appicon again.
(they should be fixed still)
- Added workaround for applications that do not set a command with
XSetCommand(), but instead they set the _NET_WM_PID property. This works
with operating systems that offer a /proc interface similar to what linux
has. (This also is to fix problems with KDE 3.3.0 apps, but not only them).
- Fixed bug with autostart and exit scripts not being executed if user
GNUstep path was different from ~/GNUstep (when setting GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT)
- Added utf8 support in WINGs (removed old X core font code)
- Added utility to convert old font names to new font names in style files
manager" option in the crashing dialog panel.
- Window Maker will now use the WINDOWMAKER_ALT_WM environment variable (if
it is defined) to overwrite the default hardcoded fallback window manager.
- Separated the font caches for normal fonts and fontsets in WINGs (they can
have the same names and collide in the cache giving unwanted results)
- Updated the years in the copyright notices
internal code clean-up with notifications for window state change and other
stuff, also cleaned kde and gnome support in preparation for wm-spec support..
WindowListMouseButton and ApplicationMenuMouseButton.
- Added 4 options to the configuration file for binding workspace actions to
mouse buttons: MouseLeftButtonAction, MouseMiddleButtonAction,
MouseRightButtonAction and MouseWheelAction. They replace the above 3
removed options, but use a different semantic.
- mouse wheel action is runtime configurable now.
Read details about this in NEWS.
- Removed MIN() and MAX() macros and replaced them with WMIN() and WMAX() from
WINGs.
- Added a hint that Window Maker crashed, to allow windows to be placed
in their correct previous positions after a crash situation and also to
preserve their state before the crash (minimized, shaded, hidden, ...)
workspace that will not be covered by windows when maximizing, and thus
allowing easy access to the clip or menus using the mouse in this
border area, even when the screen is covered by windows maximized in
both horizontal and vertical directions.
A make clean is needed in src/ because new members were added to the
WPreferences structure in WindowMaker.h
