Fluxbox 1.3.6 Released

jones_supa writes: After nearly two years since the previous release, the Fluxbox team has released version 1.3.6 to start off the new year. Like most Linux geeks already know, Fluxbox is the long-standing X window manager derived from Blackbox. The new version (announcement) puts emphasis on quality assurance and takes care of fixing a bunch of critical bugs: clocktool problems, rendering long text, race condition on shutdown, lost keypresses after workspace switch, corruption of fbrun-history, and resize and move problems. The two new features are an ArrangeWindowsStack action and treating Windows with a WM_CLASS as DockApp as DockApps. Translations for Bulgarian, Hebrew and Japanese also got updates. The Fluxbox project sends many thanks to all the contributors.

You have a remote APC UPS and you need to configure some obscure option through their stupid GUI application (and can't find the serial protocol reference).
You want to configure a remote printer that has a JAVA interface that's slow and won't properly load over a port forward.
You have an X app you normally just forward through SSH but you're on a terrible connection and don't want the app to keep getting killed by reconnecting.
You want to verify how the Intranet page loads locally to the user without taking over someone's desktop.
Some asinine printer driver comes with a GUI installer and you just really need to get through it once.
