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 foo
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.
57 F.5 Discuss FW_W_PARENT(fw)/FW_W(fw) patch for XChangeWindowAttributes() -
58 where some clients (notably broken ones) never map properly without

77 D.2 Leave or remove the current change to triggering bindings on button press
78 or release? Seems to irritate a lot of users, but fixes a root window
80 [dv: added on 29-Mar-2003]
81 [Thomas: 20100102: Not supported on all XServers.]
83 D.3 Added the possibility "to grab fast and execute even if the grab fail"
84 when executing a complex function.
85 [Olivier: added on 2003-08-09]
87 D.4 Make EWMH tooblars non-sticky and risk breaking KDE2 compatibility or
88 keep them the way they are now?
89 [Viktor: added on 2010-02-26]
91 D.5 Consider use of XIM to allow for UTF8 handling of character from the
92 keyboard for use in menus. Thomas Adam already made a start on this:

101 F. Distribution issues
102 ----------------------
104 F.3 Check INSTALL.fvwm

126 [#903,2002-07-07] Not an fvwm bug?
127 [Olivier: Cannot reproduce this]
129 C.15 Right mouse-click turn screen to black with xmgrace [#792,2.4,2001-10-10]
131 [Olivier: unable to reproduce this problem with grace-5.1.12 and
134 C.16 Redraw problem with netscape [#791,2.4,2001-10-10]. Not a fvwm Bug?

137 {Olivier: Cannot reproduce this with my touchpad wheel}
139 C.19 fvwm 2.4.0 on HP-UX breaks xterm etc. [#767,2.4,2001-08-23]

168 [dv: added on 02-Mar-2003]
170 E.16 Rename all "Pixmap" in the syntax to "Image" while supporting both.
171 Rename MultiPixmap to MultiPart, since it also accepts Solid and
172 Colorset options, not just images for different titlebar parts.
174 [dv: I wouldn't do that anymore. That syntax will be removed soon after
175 the 2.6 release, so the clean up work is in vain.]
176 [Mikhael: if this was an objection, then please close this item.]
