45 After having taken a peek at what is does in e16.8 on "alltray xterm",
46 the short version is that it uses XMapWindow() to map the client (which
47 actually is an alltray window containing the reparented real client)
48 first time. After that, when having been iconified, it sends a
49 _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW client message to deiconify.
63 dj2 raster, heres an interesting bug for you
64 dj2 i have twinview setup on my box
65 dj2 i can move the mouse between the 2 heads and e17 sees tehm as 2 heads
67 dj2 if i try to drag a window between the 2 heads (say from left to right)
68 the mouse will lmove as expected
69 dj2 but when the window hits the right edge of the left monitor it will
70 appear again off the left edge of the left monitor
71 dj2 tho the mouse is now on the right monitor
73 raster see how many screens u have
75 raster is there a screen #1 ?
76 dj2 number of screens: 2
77 dj2 yea screen #0 and screen #1
79 NB: in multihead if the mouse exits a screen during move or resize - either
80 disallow it (warp back to previous position ) or limit resize/move

87 Subject: [E-devel] Crasher ... switch to an app that's closing

93 I have a sort-of reproducible bug.
94 If you try to switch to an app which is in the process of shutting down,
95 and you do it at *just* the right moment, Enlightenment-0.17 will crash.
96 I've done this only about 3 times over probably more than a year of usage.
98 This particular time, I hit the 'close' button on a vmware-player
99 window. When this app gets the close signal, it actually minimises
100 itself, and then proceeds to shutdown ( which includes saving the
101 current VM state, which takes a while, hence the minimising first ).
102 After hitting close, I went to switch to another app by middle-clicking
103 on the desktop, but I missed the other app, and hit vmware-player
104 accidentally. Then everything came down in a heap :)
106 Sorry I don't have any debugging info.
