I just tried building WM (with the minipatch specified a couple messages shallower up the tree) on my home box, and it didn't go wierd on me this time. My work box is the one with the problem, and since my attempt to run Window Maker via secure-shell down a modem connection has just failed dismally, you will have to wait for monday to get a screen shot:-(
There's no longer the helpful ellipsis ("...") dock icon behavior - when I launch an app, instead of the icon going white and then the dots disappearing, I get a X (or sometimes a minimize symbol) on the top left of the docked icon, which then disappears - and there are no dots to disappear, even in a non-running icon.
Myself, I don't like this behavior. In particular the dots are useful to see if a closed program has gotten wedged without properly closing, like Netscape often does. Also, it makes items with different functionality (raise/launch) look identical, which is bad UI design IMHO.
WM 0.50.0 has an evil bug which makes it die instantly back to twm when you button-3-click any undocked program icon. (also mailed this info to the WM developer email address)
It would be fairly trivial to port GDK to Berlin (it does allow X-alike client-drawn widgets) but the apps would stick out like a sore thumb in the otherwise homogenous and well-behaved desktop.
Berlin is lightweight on the network because it has a single shared abstract widget set, and hence need only say to the server end "put a button here" instead of all the code to draw it.
..does this seem to be a fair 80% of the way towards a full fledged CorelDraw competitor? (suggested cool name: "gala" for "gnome artistic layout application":-)
Excellent idea! Lets have loads of weapons-grade plutonium trundling through a semi-anarchic country, guarded by underpaid soldiers and travelling to dated and dodgy power stations.And if a little goes missing here and there, well who's going to notice anyway?
You are, when some idiot decides to hasten the second coming by nuking the major city of his choice.
IRC does different things. The most important point about ICQ is (a) you can see who of your contacts is available (b) you can initiate a conversation without pre-arranging it, like with a phone, since the reciever app is omnipresent.

Can it antialias the edges of "floating" icons such as used by gmc ??

I meant in Russia. But even in Canada, a truckload of prime nuke fuel makes a pretty hot target for a terrorist with ambitions.

I didn't find this particularly funny. And, what does this have to do with the "halloween" memos?
