[qvwm-devel] another version, based on qvwm 1.1.12

[Ivan K. <kur...@ya...>]

Hello,

In case anyone is interested, I have just published my version of qvwm =
which
is based on original qvwm 1.1.12 (plus some patches by Debian).

http://ahinea.com/en/tech/qvwm/

I fixed a couple of issues in it and made some functional changes.

Here is are the selected of the changes:

- Fixed: window and taskbar button naming is now based on WM_NAME windo=
w
  property primarily and WM_ICON_NAME as the second best.  This avoids=20
  =E2=80=9CUntitled=E2=80=9D name for some applications/windows.

- Window maximization is now more intuitive: if a window is maximized a=
lready,
  it is restored back when you press Alt-Enter.

- Respect INIT_MAXIMIZE and INIT_MINIMIZE window options (as configured=
 in
  .qvwmrc) on qvwm restart.

- For sub-menus a little folder icon is now hard-coded default, but the=
re is
  no longer a default for non-folder menu items. (Looks cleaner!)

- Fixed tooltip flicker, which happened sometimes at screen bottom.

- Reimplemented task switcher layout.  It is now vertical, like a menu.

- System does not longer freezes while you switch tasks.

- Fixed a bug which stopped qvwm from reading the .qvwmrc file on resta=
rt, if
  it had found a syntax error there in the past.  So, even if you have
  corrected the rc file, you still were forced to quit and start again.=
  Not
  anymore.


The basic ideology behind my changes is: simplicity, clarity, removal o=
f
unnecessary stuff (or possibility of it), ease of use.
