dock and gentoo

Hi Folks, 

I've been away for the last two weeks. Back now. Will release a updated/bug 
fixed version of the dock module and gentoo ebuilds for ion in the next day 
or two. 

Regards, 

Tom

like i wrote:
"just that i have a FloatWS in the right frame, and a ionws in a ("fullscreen")
 floatframe inside it"

so yes, it is a "maximized" windows containing my other workspaces.
i don't think there's another way to do it.
the only thing that could improve it would be explict "fullscreen" support
in floatws.

to me the possibility of having floating windows on top of my ionws desktop
is a practical and necessary compromise between ion's and the traditional
managing models (like in the example, for a video player).

a note if you're trying to re-create the setup: you need quite some
creativity to open a window in the floatws if you don't have one already
(because if the focus is in a frame of a ionws, all new windows will open

in ioncore-bindings.lua you'll see (or should)

scr:attach_new([ type=default_ws_type, switchto=true ])

If you grep for 'default_ws_type' you'll find (in ioncorelib.lua):
default_ws_type="WIonWS"

You can make a new keybinding that uses type="WFloatWS" in the
scr:attach_new() function instead and it will let you attach a new
floating workspace inside any frame (including a WIonFrame).

This feature of ion-devel is more implied than explicitly documented,
and took me a while scouring through the default config files to
figure it out. Anyhoo, Hope this helps :)

startup-errors

Howdy,

Running latest dev-release. Not using the lua patch recommended, but 
everything else seem to work ok. Getting this error on startup.

Ion startup error log:
 >> bad code in /home/non/tmp/ion-devel-new/share/ion-devel/querylib.lc
 >> Falling back to /home/non/tmp/ion-devel-new/share/ion-devel/querylib.lua

??

Cheers,
/Niclas

This is due to a Lua bug that is fixed by the patches. Because the
compiled .lc file fails, Ion falls back to the .lua file and things
usually work fine. However, this same bug apparently also causes the
occasional disappearences of some functions in querylib.

Re: startup-errors

Any idea why removing the compiled file still gives the same error?

Updated dock module

Attached. 

Key changes: 

 - stupid bugs fixed
 - works with ion-devel-20031121 ONLY
 - now uses ion's drawing engine 

They're probably a few problems that I've missed. Let me know. 

Be sure to read the README: there have been some config file changes, mainly 
to do with the new drawing code. 

Regards, 

Tom

Menus in ion-devel-20031121


Hi

Just upgraded to ion-devel-20031121 - seemed to install without a hitch.

However, menus don't seem to be working for me :( I get the following 
message when i click button 3 on a tab (using default bindings):

menulib.lua:99: attempt to call global 'menu_menu' (a nil value)

I get similar errors for other menu bindings.

Any help appreciated, Tim.

Your ioncore.lua is probably not loading the menu module. 'make install'
apparently does not overwrite $ETCDIR/ioncore.lua, although I thought 
I had modified it so, and therefore the menu module won't get loaded 
if installed over an older installation. Likewise, if you have a
custom ~/.ion-devel/ioncore.lua, the menu module won't be loaded.
