[dev] wmii / tip bug - gnome-terminal loses focus + "no updates" when fullscreen

2011-03-09 Thread Armando Di Cianno
In wmii-3.9.2, setting gnome-terminal to fullscreen works as expected. When I use wmii-tip and I engage fullscreen, gnome-terminal takes up the full screen, but simultaneously seems to cease updating and/or lose focus. If I mash the keyboard when it's fullscreened, nothing happens; then, if I un-f

I have a fresh Ubuntu 10.10 install, and compiled and installed the tarball of wmii 3.9.2 via 'make deb' and dpkg. When using the default sh wmiirc, I have to manually set WMII_CONFPATH to ~/.wmii, or it tries writing to "/.wmii/foo". I set this in my ~/.bashrc, which does make it into my environm

[dev] wmiir needs doc / help for namespace and setsid commands

2010-02-17 Thread Armando Di Cianno
I was poking around the python alternative scripts, and noticed that wmiir takes 'setsid' as a command. Poking into the wmiir source, I see that 'namespace' is also a command. These should probably be documented in the man page, and definitely at least in the usage output of wmiir. __armando

[dev] issues with wmii tip and xcompmgr

Yes, xcompmgr is silly eye-candy ... but it used to work well alongside wmii 3.9b1, and no longer does in tip. My day-to-day setup involves mostly Emacs and rxvt-unicode, and I tend to use playing video on the root window as a convenient way to keep noodling on work while I catch up on news or mov

How do you launch a wmii session? .xinitrc? In experimenting with using env vars, based on various needs I have, I found that exporting from wmiirc, and re-running it, works in a pinch as well. In your case, are you using .xsession/.xinitrc? If so, I would export the needed vars there, or source
