More Sawfish 1.3 documentation

I've added documentation to my "sawmill.texi" patch for the following
Lisp structures:

    * sawfish.wm.commands
    * sawfish.wm.focus
    * sawfish.wm.frames
    * sawfish.wm.misc
    * sawfish.wm.placement
    * sawfish.wm.session
    * sawfish.wm.server
    * sawfish.wm.stacking
    * sawfish.wm.window-anim
    * sawfish.wm.windows
    * sawfish.wm.workspace
    * sawfish.wm.state.inconify
    * sawfish.wm.state.shading
    * sawfish.wm.state.transient
    * sawfish.wm.state.ignored

I picked these because they are all auto-loaded by Sawfish in
"sawfish/wm.jl".  The Viewport structure is documented as well, but
I've commented out the text because viewports are deprecated.  You can
get the new documentation (which includes my previous C API
documentation changes) from

  http://www.blarg.net/~sand/sawfish/

Can someone with an account on the Sawfish Bugzilla please add a new
bug regarding this, so the patch can get tracked for the next release?
Thanks.

utf8 problem

I'm using 1:1.3+cvs20031104-3  deb
from debian sid. My problem is that
window titles of non ut8 strings are not set.

in  .xsession-errors

** (process:4247): WARNING **: Invalid UTF8 string passed to 
pango_layout_set_text()

e.g in mozilla -mail the window title is the actual
email from: line
If line contains non English characters like äüß
the title is not shown or just displayed until these characters.
The same for any other app. like gnome-terminal.

In other WM as metacity or xfwm4 no problems.
(but I do not like them )

thx

I've talked about it on irc (#xlib  <at>  freenode) w/ somebody.

The source of this is the grab.
This page explains it:
http://cs.wwc.edu/~davija/XLIB/10-10.html 

So, either the app should ignore those events (quoting from that page)
"with the mode members of the XEnterWindowEvent
and XLeaveWindowEvent structures set to NotifyGrab."

or you should instruct Sawfish not to grab the click events (on those windows).

for example:
(unbind-keys  window-keymap "Button1-Click")

Too technical for me.

Is that a workaround, or is it the correct way for X-apps to work?  And if so do they have to do it themselves or
are the toolkits at fault.

Doesn't work for me, but maybe I have a different problem:  I have some windows, like the Gimp 1.3 toolbox

Using popup-menu

Hello list,

I tried today to customize sawfish. The first thing I tried out was to 
create an popup menu. So I copied an example from the web:

-- .sawfischrc --
(require 'sawmill-defaults)

(defvar leo-menu '(("_Minimize all" iconify-all)
                    ("Ma_xmimize all" uniconify-all)
                       ()
                          ("_Shade all" shade-all)
                    ("_Unshade all" unshade-all)
                       ()
                          ("_Cascade all" cascade-windows)
                            ) )

(defun popup-leo-menu ()
   "Display Leos menu."
   (interactive)
   (popup-menu leo-menu))

(bind-keys root-window-keymap
     "Button1-Click1" 'popup-leo-menu)

-- end(e) --

Unfortunately the only result I get is a message "Unbound variable 
popup-menu" on the console. So I am asking myself what ist wrong with 
the example. Can someone give me a hint?

Thanks very much.

This works like a charm.  Is there consensus as to whos
responsibility this is, ie, sawfish's or the X apps'?

Or to put it differently, any good reason why this is not the default,
esp. considering metacity (the other gnome wm) seems to do this?

Jan.

raise and focus

How do I enable "raise and focus" in sawfish 1.3?

I can do it in sawfish 1.2 just fine, through the sawfish configurator,
but in sawfish 1.3 there seems to be no option for "raise and focus". I
must click on windows to raise them, which I don't want to have to do.

I can focus them just fine without clicking, but I cannot raise them
without clicking.

Also, I'd like to be able to set the delay between the time the window
is focused, and the time the window is raised.

Thanks,

Lee

Re: raise and focus

add the line:

(require 'auto-raise)

to your ~/.sawfishrc file, then restart. That should make the 
auto-raise options reappear,
