Re: [Scwm-devs] Re: fvwm pager support broken for newest fvwm

[Scott L. <sl...@cs...>]

Couldn't sleep, so gathered some more info.

Looks like fvwm is moving to a per message type structure for each module
message.  Currently the only message that is different is the one for the
pager so I expect all other fvwm modules will still work.  As for the pager,
they replaced the flags field with a layer field.  They also changed the
border_width field to a short but I don't think it matters since it will
get padded out to a long anyway.  Might make a difference on machine with
a different endianess though.  Most likely changing it so it sends 0 instead
of flags will make it work with the new pager.
