Install problem

Hi,
ion is awesome!
  I'm running Mandrake 8.2, so I downloaded the ion madrake rpm and ran
it. First I'm rather dissapointed that I have to install it manually.
Then, when I run 'make depend && make' it complains about a whole lotta
files it can't find. Some are

  X11/Xutil.h
  X11/Xlib.h
  X11/Xresouce.h

What Am I doing wrong/not doing at all?

Re: PWM 'protect' patch

I quickly skimmed through the archives for the last year looking
for the word 'patch' or 'request' in the subject line. Here are
some of those I found:

- Extra winprops: auto-maximize on start, auto-ticky (I'll forward a
  patch to implement the latter.)
- Man page bug: the last two Mod1:s should be Shift and Mod1+Shift.
- raise_on_move (I'll forward the patch, although I think the option
  should be global and not specific to a screen.)
- (This is an _old_ one) Separators in menus
- Functions to shift clients' tabs left/right. (Has been asked to be
  implemented in Ion too.)

Of course, there are also many requests for click-to-focus (I don't
think if there are any patches that fully implement it) and some I
think I have implemented but didn't bother to check. 

(There actually was already a patch to keep frames from obscuring the
dock on maximize.)

Although no-one has requested it, PWM should support prefix keymaps as
Ion does: Mod1+K is much nicer than Control+Shift. But Ion's code will
not work directly and although it should be quite easy to do the necessary
modifications, I've put this off until wmcore.

Maybe you didn't install X-devel package(s)?
Probably you need some other -devel packages of some libs but X-devel should
be the most important.

Re: Install problem

Hi,
Thanks a bundle - it worked! Now I can enjoy the mouse-free pleasures of
ion in the wellknown confines of my own home :-)

One more thing: Now that Gnome and KDE both supposedly use the same hints,
PWM could support extended window manager hints to the extend that is
possible; see <http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/wm-spec/>.

(Yes, those two patches I mentioned earlier were actually superfluous.
Too long time since I looked into the PWM source.)

ion-devel-20020404


There's another release of the development branch of Ion available at

   <http://www.students.tut.fi/~tuomov/dl/ion-devel-20020404.tar.gz>.

Nothing fancy there, mostly fixes that I should have written over a
month ago. Resize should work now.

New ChangeLog entries since ion-devel-20020130:

2002-04-04:
  * Resolved some problems with resize/workspace_request_sub_geom

2002-03-27:
  * Applied an input handling and resize mode patch.

2002-03-17:
  * Added 'split_top "dir"' command to create a new frame
    above/below/left of/right of all other frames
    (dir=top/bottom/left/right, respectively). Removed
    split_vert/horiz and replaced them with 'split "dir"'.  Also
    added 'split_empty "dir"' that will not attach current client to
    the newly created frame.

2002-03-16:
  * Added set_width/height/widthq/heightq commands. The versions with
    the q postfix take a value in [0,1] and the others take an
    integer value. The behaviour is obvious.

ion devel for mouse users?

Would you recommend that mouse-only(*) users use ion-devel?

(*) like it or not, ion is also an extremely good mouse-only 
window manager.

This is out of context: keyboard works just fine with a simple setup
similar to older versions of Ion. What isn't implemented is grab
management for possible nested frames and such. But that doesn't really
matter as currently there's no way to create such although all the code
should (untested) allow for such.

Module-supplied event handlers ?

Hello everbody, especially noble Toumo !

Is there any way to add custom event handlers to handle them in modules, 
other than patching ion sources ?
I want to capture map/unmap and some other events from my module.
Skimmed briefly through event.c and clientwin.c - I can't find  
property/mechanism to do this.
Am I missing something ? Ion-devel allows this ? (I did not looked into 
-devel sources yet, working with 20020207).

With all the best, yarick at relex dot ru

No.

No. There should probably be some way to pass the events to
modules, but I'm not sure which would be the best. Hooks
(of the _alt sort) for unhandled events? DynFun in whatever
thing is related to the window? I guess it depends much on
how and what for one wants to handle the event.
