Humm well I made a newer WindowMaker RPM set available in rawhide that should compile across all 7.x/beta platforms ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/SRPMS/SRPMS/WindowMaker-0.80.1-1.src.rpm Give that a shot and see what happens Phil =--= (To be honest, this sounds more like a shopt problem... ie set 'shopt -c checkwinsize' to run in /etc/profile somewhere) Phil =--= Ok, it works now but partialy. And I don't think it's a shopt problem -> # shopt -c checkwinsize zsh: command not found: shopt - I don't run bash - after I add `-title BLAH_BLAH` rxvts are _randomly_ _REPOSITIONED_ even if I _don't_ touch their size - yes, it _still_ _works_ if I reinstall WM-0.80.0-6 back with everything else the latest rawhide my oppinion is that it _has_ to have something with `-title` option for rxvt. The funniest thing is that after WM restart title is _not_ on the _proper_ rxvt but some other random one. Actually it's a bash shopt style problem IN zsh not a windowmaker bug Zsh sets LINES and columns to the value obtained from the TIOCGWINSZ ioctl. This way, when you resize you xterm, the LINES parameter will change too. Normally, when you resize your window, xterm sends SIGWINCH to the process group of its terminal. Zsh catches this signal, and adjusts the window size. So far so good, you do not resize you terminal, so zsh does not get SIGWINCH, LINES should not change. Unfortunately, it's not that simple. When zsh runs interactively, the MONITOR option is enabled to allow you to use fg, bg, ^Z etc. But this means that when you start a foreground process, it will run in a separate process group from zsh, and the terminal's process group is set to the foreground job's process group. As a consequence, zsh cannot handle the SIGWINCH signals xterm sends when you resize the window, so when a foreground process terminates, zsh goes and asks the terminal for its size. If the terminal says that it has 24 lines, zsh just assumes that it was resized, and sets LINES to 24 even if you had set it to 31 before. In short, you have two options fix zsh run bash with shopt -s checkwinsize (bash had exactly the same problem but the checkwinsize code was added to bash to get around this specific problem) Phil =--= Well, you almost completely misunderstud. Try this -> bash/zsh/whatever shell, just tried with bash and _the_ _same_ happened. - run wmaker - create at least three workspaces - open several rxvts, position them on different workspaces now interesting part - start one rxvt with `-title BLAH` option and resize it - save workspace session and THE most crucial part - exit wmaker now goes *boom* - start wmaker again *boom* title is on the _WRONG_ rxvt and on the workspace where you clicked session save is default sized rxvt ! I think that this _IS_ definately a bug although I don't know is it WM's or maybe rxvt's or even shell's !? All that on latest rawhide ! WindowMaker has not been included for some time, closing bugs related to it. |
