Do not try to be too smart which compilations need config.h, as most of
them will simply because of the config.h has information about system
capabilities.
ClientPatterns might be tricky to get right. Instead of fiddling around in
either the keys-file or the apps-file and restarting fluxbox to see if the
changes had any effect / matched the right windows, 'ClientPatternTest' and
the fluxbox-remote should make this easier:
$> fluxbox-remote "clientpatterntest (title=.*vim*)"
This causes fluxbox to store the list of matched windows in the
_FLUXBOX_ACTION_RESULT property onto the rootwindow. This property might
then be read by:
$> xprop -root _FLUXBOX_ACTION_RESULT
or
$> fluxbox-remote result
The format of the list is:
win_id \t title_of_window \n
win_id is '-1' when fluxbox wasn't able to parse the given ClientPattern.
win_id is '0' when there are no windows matching the given ClientPattern.
Found with cppcheck:
"Prefix ++/-- operators should be preferred for non-primitive
types. Pre-increment/decrement can be more efficient than
post-increment/decrement. Post-increment/decrement usually
involves keeping a copy of the previous value around and adds
a little extra code."
a newer xlib recently changed the result of 'DisplayString()' a little bit:
instead of returning ':0.0' or ':1.0' it yields ':0' or ':1'. our code to
transform this string into something that includes the currently used
Screen worked only on something like ':0.0'.
we now find the '.' after the ':' and strip that part away.
to quote from 'man putenv':
The string pointed to by string becomes part of the environment,
so altering the string changes the environment.
so, using putenv like
{
std::string foo("FOO=bar");
putenv(foo.c_str());
}
is wrong and leads to a potentially corrupted environment. valgrind
complaint correctly.
FbTk::App seems to be the appropriate place to hold '::seten()'
because it alters the environment of the application.
a 'BidiString' holds both the logical content and the visual reordered
version of the content of a string. this helps to reduce the number of
calls to reorder the string before drawing it (as introduced in the patch
from Ken Bloom) and to be more consistent in menus and textboxes (drawing
cursors and underlining text).
on *bsd /bin/sh is not just a symlink to /bin/bash as on most linux's
but a real standalone shell. and it behaves differently from "bash -c"
behavior .. it doesnt exec the command given but waits till the command
finishes. as a result a lot of "rogue" a flying around. solution is now
( $SHELL or /bin/sh ) -c exec <cmd>
