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.

- Keep menu and title text at 12px since there is not constrained by width
- Removed some obsoleted options from wconfig.h
- Added a lighter image for the switch panel
This was we internally only deal with fc names and properties. It will
incur a small performance hit as the font needs to be parsed/unparsed,
but this is only for backward-compatibility to support old xlfd names.
People are encouraged to swtich to fontconfig names.
- WINGs no longer adds sans as a fallback for internal fonts. It is
automatically done by fontconfig (if it can't find the requested font
it will use the closest match which is the default font: sans-serif)
- Added code to honor the AntialiasesText global option
- Fixed style names for WMCopyFontWithStyle()
- Added fonts in style files where they were missing. Also changed some
fonts to better defaults.
- 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)
marked not to be synchronized.
- WMGLOBAL options can now be set in the WindowMaker configuration files
to overwrite values in WMGLOBAL.
- You can now pass "SystemFont", "BoldSystemFont", "SystemFont-##" or
"BoldSystemFont-##", with ## being the font size to any font creating
function to create a font with the (bold) system font font specification.
- Replaced AA with Anitialiased in WINGs font creation function names
- Added WMCreateFontWithFlags(), WMHasAntialiasingSupport() and
WMIsAntialiasingEnabled()
- Created a separate font cacahe for antialiased fonts
- Added test at startup if Xft supports rendering antialiased fonts (in case
the application was compiled with Xft support, but is run on an X server
without support for xft rendering (RENDER extension missing). If no Xft
support antialiasing will be disabled even if it is enabled in the
configuration file.
- Finished the Info Panel to work with antialiased fonts.
- Code cleanup in dialog.c. Remade part of Info Panel drawing the Window Maker
logo.
- Fixed technical style drawing of window resizing.
- 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
shell/xterm or from the main menu, if there is a docked appicon of that
class that is not running at the time the app is launched.
- Added animation to show that the appicon was stolen by the dock (the way
NEXTSTEP did - map an appicon as it normally would have been, then slide it
to the position the docked appicon is).
- Updated the animation constants for scrolling/sliding/shading to better
adapt to newer/faster machines. Also used wusleep(10) when the delay was 0
to get rid of the jerky animation when there was no delay.
sure what I just removed ) and change to
#define DEF_WINDOW_TITLE_EXTEND_SPACE "4"
#define DEF_MENU_TITLE_EXTEND_SPACE "4"
#define DEF_MENU_TEXT_EXTEND_SPACE "0"
