From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020916 Description of problem: It seems like the RedHat mafia has removed the edge flipping feature from Sawfish. Of all stupid things you have done in RH 8.0, this is the one which annoyes me the most. I can live with a dumb window manager as default. I can live with the removal of viewports in Gnome 2. And I can live with Bluecurve making Gnome just as ugly looking as KDE. But when redhat decides that it is more important to make an version which is easy to use for Windows lusers and hence removes all the advantages of linux with regard to productivity, that makes me realize that the price I have to pay for Gcc 3.2 is too high. For the first time since I switched from Slackware 95 to redhat, I will start looking for a better distribution. -- Frank Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the sawfish "workspace" configuration screen. 2. Enable edge flipping... Actual Results: Edge flipping is nowhere to be found. Additional info:
We do not patch Sawfish in any way shape or form, it's provided as-downloaded from sawfish.sourceforge.net. I believe there is some not-in-the-GUI way to enable the edge flipping, you might try a google search.
I really miss edge flipping myself - see the sawfish/metacity bug. I don't care which WM does it, of course. Also am greatly missing the pull-down-active-applications on the top right menu panel that ximian provides. Please change from closed to wishlist.
We aren't going to add this feature ourselves, upstream developers may add it. The wishlist bug belongs on bugzilla.gnome.org. You can get the top-right menu by right-clicking a panel, New Panel->Menu Panel
OK, but where is development on sawfish actually being done? The last update on the sourceforge site calls out 1.0.1, not 2.0... The file list also only points to 1.0.1 or 1.0 or 0.? Can someone point to a distribution point to sawfish 2.0 so that we may hack & slash or was this retrieved from CVS? Thanks!
I guess our tarballs are from ftp.gnome.org. The sawfish bug tracker is http://bugzilla.gnome.org.
J'approuve totalement Franck (pour la premihre fois je ridige en frangais : si par hasard vous utilisez vous-mjmes rh 8.0, vous constaterez vous-emes ` quelle point votre dernihre version est nulle : voir les bugs ` propos de kbd). J'ai installi, ` grand peine, Slackware sur six postes 486 de 450 MB, en parallhle avec Netware 3.12 sur un serveur d'un GB, avec NIS pour l'authentification d'une vingtaine d'itudiants. Je suis passi, avec plaisir, ` Redhat 5.0 en 1998 pour ces six postes ` l'universiti et chez moi. Je vous ai suivi, toujours avec plaisir, jusqu'` RedHat 7.3, y compris avec le jonglage pour les versions de Gnome pri-1.0 et 1.0. Mais aujourd'hui, je ne peux plus vous suivre : passe encore d'avoir les problhmes avec kbd, sawfish et metacity dij` dicris dans plusieurs rapports de bug. Mais je ne peux accepter de voir les config perso (user customization) purement et simplement supprimies. J'ai donc, ` regret, restauri ma sauvegarde de RedHat 7.3, et j'itudie sur l'un des 11 postes que je ghre maintenant, la possibiliti de passer ` Debian : ils sont nettement moins conviviaux, mais beaucoup plus respectueux des choix individuels.
I couldn't believe the demonstration would be so crual for you. I can only hope you will understand my message! Localization used to be much better, as many other issues.
