colas@bahia.inria.fr (Colas Nahaboo) (11/16/89)
The new version 1.4.1.30 is out on expo.lcs.mit.edu and here on
trinidad.inria.fr (avahi.inria.fr seemed to have problems for long-distance
ftp, trinidad seems to work OK)
(For those who don't know, GWM is an ICCCM-compliant, multiscreen window
manager "a la emacs", i.e. with a built-in mini lisp interpreter to
customize it)
This new version has some bugs fixed, compiles and works with R4 beta
(but it has still a bug which disappears when the R4beta server is set in
"bug compatibility mode" by a "xset bc": the GrabPointer call fails without
it: it generates an XError, but the call itself returns GrabSuccess.
Do somebody know what I do wrong?)
I have included the mwm profile. It is not yet integrated, but can be
called by a "gwm -f mwm". There is not doc, but you will find all variables
that can be set in a .mwmrc in the files "mwmrc.gwm" and "mwm-menusrc.gwm"
here is the CHANGES file:
1.4.1.30 (89/11/15) X11R4 beta
This version should compile OK under the X11R4 beta tree
(add a GwmDir in your Project.tmpl)
NOTE: for compiling with alpha release of X11R4, use -DX11R4a
for compiling with beta release of X11R4, use -DX11R4 (default)
COMPATIBLE ENHANCEMENTS:
- window-name always converts the dots "." to "_", for not breaking
the X resource manager. This did not happen in the standard profile
but was very dangerous in some other profiles
- for X11R4 inclusion, wl_namespace.c and .h files are renamed to
wl_name.c and .h, and Imakefile was re-designed by Donna Converse.
- #endif foo were replaced by #endif /* foo */
- new file "cursor-names.gwm" to have the names of the built-in
cursors (see "cursor-make" entry)
- mwm profile included: try it with a gwm -f mwm
BUGS CORRECTED:
- list-of-windows could break due to an uninitialised context
- if a (buggy) client declared itself as transient-for itself, gwm
would enter an infinite loop (new interviews clients)

Newsgroups: comp.windows.x Subject: X11 windows and Postscript Summary: Expires: Sender: Reply-To: cerbone@tesla.UUCP (cerbone giuseppe) Followup-To: Distribution: Organization: Oregon State Univerity, Corvallis, OR Keywords: Hi Netters, I apologyze in advance if this subject is trivial or has occurred before but I am neither an X hacker nor a frequent net reader. I need to merge some X windows with a Latex file. One way of doing it is to have a postscript file which I could then merge with the .dvi file by using dvi2ps-like programs to create a single ps file to be printed. The problem is then: HOW DO I OBTAIN A POSTSCRIPT FILE FROM AN X WINDOW. Is there a "standard" routine? If yes, please send me the name. If not, do you have any program to convert format? I would appreciate suggestions on X to postscript conversions or on any other way of accomplishing my goal. Thanks in advance to everyone. Please, e-mail the suggestions and I will summarize for the net. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- US-mail --- | --- e-mail --- Giuseppe CERBONE | Domain: cerbone@cs.orst.edu
