Legacy Window Managers

[roberts]

I have updated the following to support freedeskop and ondemand for v3.x of Core:

jwm.tcz
jwm-snapshot.tcz
icewm.tcz
fluxbox.tcz
hackedbox.tcz

Tried the new jwm with tc3 alpha4........the new jwm seems to over write my custom saved .jwmrc-tray in /home/tc........after startup, if I modify .jwmrc-tray to my prefered style(tray on bottom)...restart window manager..it works...but   if I exit to prompt and ...then startx ......my changes are over witten again.....is this expected behavior?

I have something like that going on with jwm and mc2.11 as well.  I put a line at the start of .xsession that overwrites .jwmrc-tray with a saved .jwmrc-tray-lee so I don't remember if my changes would survive dropping to shell and coming back with startx (though I think they did).

I haven't fooled around with the latest alpha yet.

Ah, I will fix jwm should only be the menu part not the others.

Fixed and reposted jwm.tcz and jwm-snapshot.tcz

[gwalther]

Reposted jwm.tcz fixed all the issues for me....thanks

[roberts]

openbox.tcz menu interface files now updated for freedesktop only and ondemand support.

Very minor point with reposted ....jwm.tcz

line 14 and line 21 of ......tce.jwm....are producing error messages in /tmp/wm_errors

I think line 14 and line 21 should be...</Menu>....not </MENU>

(This error does not seem to effect desktop right click menu)

Fixed and reposted.

Latest ..jwm.tcz...good news..bad news
the error messages are gone however nothing shows up now in  right click Applicaions menu
looks like nothing is getting  put in ..tce.jwm

[roberts]

snapshot is ok. I messed up jwm.tcz. Reposted.

Re...latestt..jwm.tcz
Sorry to be a pain...but it still is not right..
Now things show in right click..Applications...first item for me is ace-of-penguines
as a sub menu the games appear...however all my other applications..ie emelfm etc also
show up in the ace of penguines sub menu., not as a seperate item as they did before

Looking at ...tce.jwm....the </Menu> that should be there after the last ace of penguines
game and before the next application is missing

edit...jwm_makemenu.....the line with :
echo "</Menu>" "$OUTFILE"
in earilier versions had ..>>.. between menu and OUTFILE..

could that be it?

[roberts]

Yes. My burn out from doing all the various window managers is showing.
I just don't have it in me to set up yet another test environment.
Blindly making mods to such that I don't use is not the best.
Anyway, enough of my woes.
Updated and reposted.

BTW, jwm-snapshot was working all along.

Robert, I don't want to wind you up, but could it be that the two FLWM extensions are still operating on the "old" mechanism?
