The new gwm update is out on expo. It fixes the re-entrancy problem with
arup's twm emulator (fixed version included in the release)
Extract from the CHANGES file:
1.5.1.5 (89/12/20) bugs
NEW FUNCTIONS:
- x, y, gravity, borderwidth & borderpixel can now be set for
meters in the "meter" function, which now returns previous values.
- new "map-notify" event sent to window each time it is actually mapped
on the screen. (needed for epoch)
- new "reenter_on_opening" flag (default 1). Can be set to 0 during
critical sections that cannot be re-entered (thus fixing a bug
in the twm emulator).
BUGS CORRECTED:
- "window creep" on restart is fixed
- menu-min/max-width were ignored when a plug made the menu resize
- redecorating a window (by the menu) sometimes unmapped it
- dlist package somewhat cleaned up (Gary Oberbrunner <garyo@Think.COM>)
- 2 patches from dab@berserkly.cray.com (David Borman) for
compiling with the buggy DEC BSD4.4 C compiler (with -DSTUPID)
COMPATIBLE ENHANCEMENTS:
- meters now grow & shrink (were only growing before)
- december version of arup's twm package included.
- process-events can take an argument to do a sync before
processing events
