corrected version of /etc/X11/AnotherLevel/fvwm2rc.xlock.m4 none

Description Need Real Name 2000-10-17 23:16:55 UTC
Overview: When running X using AnotherLevel (style Fvwm95, which runs
fvwm2), the Start menu (or root menu) includes two items to invoke xlock
(in my case, from the RedHat 6.2  xlockmore-4.15-4 rpm); these do not work
correctly.  The error is in the AnotherLevel configuration file
/etc/X11/AnotherLevel/fvwm2rc.xlock.m4 (I have a corrected version of this
file, that works for me at least).

Steps to reproduce: Run X as above; select Start menu from Start button or
from root window; click on the item "Lock Screen / Screen Saver (first
half)" or "Lock Screen / Screen Saver (second half)".

Actual results: Clicking on the first of the above items has no effect;
clicking on the second produces a window with unlabelled mode buttons plus
labelled "action" buttons at the bottom (that can indeed be used to invoke
xlock).

Expected results: Clicking on either item should produce a window with
buttons labelled by xlock modes plus labelled "action" buttons at the
bottom, so that one can select an xlock mode before clicking an "action"
button at the bottom.

Causes of these bugs: The causes are due to errors in the configuration
file /etc/X11/AnotherLevel/fvwm2rc.xlock.m4  from 
AnotherLevel-1.0.1-1.noarch.rpm
Complete failure of the first menu item results from the fact that in 12
lines near the beginning of the file,  *XLock  is used where  *Xlock1 
should occur.  Missing mode-names beside the mode buttons appear to be
fixed by adding a line:

*XLock1Line     expand

immediately following the line:

*XLock1Selection      Option single

(and adding a similarly line  *XLock2Line     expand  for XLock2).

In the esyscmd statements, the awk command

		if (/random/) { next }; \

would appear to remove several valid modes, and should be replaced by the
command

		if (/^[ \t]*random/) { next }; \

Also in these statements, the division of xlock modes between the two menu
items had to be evened out before they worked correctly, at least on my
i386 machine (two many modes in a window seem to cause a problem); this
could be fixed by changing

		/^[ \t]*[a-m]/ && ok==1 \

to

		/^[ \t]*[a-k]/ && ok==1 \

in the first esyscmd statement, and changing

		/^[ \t]*[n-z]/ && ok==1 \

to

		/^[ \t]*[l-z]/ && ok==1 \

in the second esyscmd statement.

There does not seem to be a "Create an attachment" item on the page, so I
include the corrected file below (I have tested it only on my i386 system);
NOTE that lines beginning
-nolock  should actually be appended to the ends of the previous lines:
