20 todo: Entries should look like this:

24 [fvwm worker(s) who want(s) to close the item]
27 A. Release stopping bugs
28 ------------------------
30 F.1 Update the default config files, probably needs discussion...
31 [Thomas: Something should be done. Currently, the only thing was to
32 change style negation syntax. Might be enough. Needs
35 F.2 Update/complete fvwm-convert-2.6
36 [Thomas: Started, as of 311209. On-going.]
38 F.3 Investigate removal of fvwm-menu-desktop and/or its replacement with
42 F.4 Investigate limiting destructive/recursive commands by placing a limit
45 Style foo InitialMapCommand Bar
47 AddToFunc Bar I Exec exec xterm -T Bar
49 Although we give the user enough rope here to hang themselves, the end
50 result is to quickly overload FVWM. But I am not happy with
51 artificially limiting this either if it's what the user meant.
53 Note that this is not an isolated example, since there's any other
54 number of ways to do the same thing, but it needs considering.
68 D.2 Leave or remove the current change to triggering bindings on button press
69 or release? Seems to irritate a lot of users, but fixes a root window
71 [dv: added on 29-Mar-2003]
72 [Thomas: 20100102: Not supported on all XServers.]
74 D.3 Added the possibility "to grab fast and execute even if the grab fail"
75 when executing a complex function.
76 [Olivier: added on 2003-08-09]
78 D.4 Make EWMH tooblars non-sticky and risk breaking KDE2 compatibility or
79 keep them the way they are now?
80 [Viktor: added on 2010-02-26]
82 D.5 Consider use of XIM to allow for UTF8 handling of character from the
83 keyboard for use in menus. Thomas Adam already made a start on this:
85 http://github.com/ThomasAdam/fvwm/commit/a990f34a0546b811d44ebdaf850a68cadf9cf771
92 F. Distribution issues
93 ----------------------
95 F.3 Check INSTALL.fvwm
96 [Mikhael: already misses recently added features.]
97 [Thomas: 20100102: Looks fairly complete to me.]
102 G.1 Update and run the purify script again
103 [Olivier: mostly done with valgrind. Should be done again]
105 G.2 Test fvwm with GNOME2 and KDE3 [see in particular: #980]
106 [Olivier: seems to work not so bad]
108 G.5 Is PositiveWrite module locking problem fixed? [e.g., #708]
111 ---- Unreproducable -----------------------------------------------------------
113 C.8 An afterimage remains when moving a window [#913,2.4,2002-08-09].
116 C.9 Moving operation delayed together with XFree86 4.2.0 xtt module
117 [#903,2002-07-07] Not an fvwm bug?
118 [Olivier: Cannot reproduce this]
120 C.15 Right mouse-click turn screen to black with xmgrace [#792,2.4,2001-10-10]
122 [Olivier: unable to reproduce this problem with grace-5.1.12 and
125 C.16 Redraw problem with netscape [#791,2.4,2001-10-10]. Not a fvwm Bug?
127 C.17 Double scroll with mouse wheel [#782,2.4,2001-09-18].
128 {Olivier: Cannot reproduce this with my touchpad wheel}
130 C.19 fvwm 2.4.0 on HP-UX breaks xterm etc. [#767,2.4,2001-08-23]
131 [dv: I can't imagine how fvwm would be involved, but do not have an
132 HP-UX machine to test this]
134 C.27 The "titles" sometimes aren't shown when no items are available in a
136 [Olivier: unable to reproduce this]
138 C.20 Erratic EdgeScroll behavior [#766,2.4,2001-08-21]. Fixed?
139 [Thomas: 020110: Seems to be. I can't reproduce it.]
141 ---- Closed recently ----------------------------------------------------------
143 [Thomas: 2009-02-27: This section is deprecated. Please add all closed
144 entries under the "Closed" section.]

152 [Mikhael (with help of Richard Lister?)]
155 [dv: added on 02-Mar-2003]
157 E.7 Fix the FvwmProxy placement algorithm (it may loop and can place windows
159 [dv: added on 02-Mar-2003]
161 E.16 Rename all "Pixmap" in the syntax to "Image" while supporting both.
162 Rename MultiPixmap to MultiPart, since it also accepts Solid and
163 Colorset options, not just images for different titlebar parts.
165 [dv: I wouldn't do that anymore. That syntax will be removed soon after
166 the 2.6 release, so the clean up work is in vain.]
167 [Mikhael: if this was an objection, then please close this item.]
