A priori, there is no reason why the workspace warping functionality should
treat the horizontal and vertical directions at all differently. Even if
traditionally horizontal warping was more common, for some in recent times
as aspect ratios tend to become larger, stacking virtual workspaces
vertically may make more sense. Similarly, some might want to traverse
an array of workspaces in column-major, rather than row-major, order.
Prior to this commit, there were extra parameters for vertical warping (a
controlling flag and an offset for how many workspaces to jump) as opposed
to horizontal warping. Also it was impossible to allow vertical warping while
disallowing vertical warping.
This commit makes all of the parameters and behavior for horizontal and
vertical warping equivalent. For backwards compatibility, there is an
overarching flag controlling whether warping occurs at all, as well as a
separate control flag and offset for each of horizontal and vertical warping.
The relevant init file resources and default values are:
session.screen0.workspaceWarping: true
session.screen0.workspaceWarpingHorizontal: true
session.screen0.workspaceWarpingVertical: true
session.screen0.workspaceWarpingHorizontalOffset: 1
session.screen0.workspaceWarpingVerticalOffset: 1
Allows to maintain access to desktop fractions etc. against
maximized windows. Also permits to OnToolbar clicks in this case, eg. to
raise it.

This commit fixes primarily a race condition that occurs when xinit(1) shuts
down: by not acting properly fluxbox gets caught in an infinite loop. It
caused bug #1100.
xinit(1) sends a SIGHUP signal to all processes. fluxbox tries to shutdown
itself properly by shutting down workspaces and screens. While doing that, the
Xserver might be gone already. Additionally, fluxbox used to restart() itself
on SIGHUP, which is clearly not the right thing to do when xinit(1) is about
to end the session.
So, fluxbox does this:
* handling SIGHUP now shuts down fluxbox without clearing workspaces and
screens.
* A 2 second alarm() is triggered in Fluxbox::shutdown() as a last resort
* XSetIOErrorHandler() is used to recognize the disconnect from the xserver.
* SIGUSR1 is for restarting fluxbox, SIGUSR2 for reloading the config
* FbTk/SignalHandler.cc/hh is gone; this unused abstraction served currently
no real purpose. Signal handling is now done in main.cc
* Unrelated to the issue itself src/main.cc was trimmed down quite a bit and
the code (responsible for handling the command line interface) was moved to
src/cli*
Fluxbox's man page had "allows to", which should actually be something like
"allows one to".
The rest of the .ins were rebuilt as a result. No changes otherwise.
This is not actually implemented yet, but from now on, "MouseFocus" means:
Focus follows mouse only when you are moving the mouse, any EnterNotify events
caused by non-mouse operations (window closing, keycommands, changing
desktops) will *not* shift focus
And once fully-implemented, "StrictMouseFocus" will mean:
Focus follows mouse on every EnterNotify event (except when the "ClientMenu"
closes or during alt+tab window cycling)
This separates the menu-syntax portions of fluxbox.txt out into its own man
page, and includes a rather large rewrite of much of fluxbox.txt, as well as
small improvements in other pages.
