Description Mario Mikocevic 2002-02-22 19:50:02 UTC

Description of Problem:
  Well, OK, it works fine if you use just one workspace and
just one xterm/rxvt ! _BUT_
  In _ALL_ versions prior 0.80.X I had a beautiful combo of 10
workspaces (alt-1 - alt-0) and plenthora of open rxvts, something
like three to six per workspace.
  I edited WMState (when NO wmaker process was active) and
added proper `-title FINE_AND_DANDY_NAME` to each rxvt startup.
After a X startup (wmaker is default) _ALL_ workspaces would be
restored with _ALL_ rxvts with nice names on them.
  Now, that just do not work any more.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -qa | grep Windo
WindowMaker-0.80.0-6
WindowMaker-libs-0.80.0-6

How Reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start several rxvts with -title for each one
2. save wmaker session and restart wmaker
3. *plonk*

Actual Results:
rxvts are _shuffled_ across workspaces and almost none -title
is at the proper workspace place

Expected Results:
everything fine and dandy just as in before 0.80.x

Additional Information:
available on request

Does this persist with 0.80.0-7?

Comment 2 Mario Mikocevic 2002-04-15 10:47:20 UTC

Yes !
I even tried -8. The very same.

If I add `-title Blah_Blah` in rxvt line in WMState config file
funny stuff happens like rxvts on random places and _wrong_ rxvt has
title displayed ! :)

Possibly related: when I first upgraded I had a few problems and had to delete
my old config files from GNUStep/Defaults because wmaker was segfaulting ... I
think they might be a few "incompatibilities" between the older and newer
versions.  It could be the new (non-libPropList) code for handling the config
files.

Humm I'll have to let this one go for this release. I've kicked this bug
upstream to the php developers
