echinus crashes when gnome restart notication jumps up. OR it some
times just

[x] crazy popup flickering (echinus-r237, reported by holst,
2008-06-17)
there seems to be an excessive amount of flicker when a popup is
created.
case study: network manager in gnome. left click to display settings
(wired
etc.) and click again to hide. the redraw sequence after that is very
annoying!
Remark: If I hide the gnome panels, the flickering is considerably
reduced.
REMARK: THIS BUG WAS NOT IN R218

[x] viewprevtag (echinus-r226, reported by holst, 2008-06-15)

The viewprevtag does not work as it should anymore.
It uses some double step procedure now.
First W + Tab = show correct icons. Second W + tab = show correct
window.
And the same procedure to switch back. One W + tab to switch icons,
and another to perform the actual switch.
Icons = window icons in gnome panel.
Remark: Works on some systems. Requires further investigation.

[x] popups disappearing (echinus-0.2.8, reported by holst 2008-05-07)
sometimes popup windows appears and then hides behind the main window.
also
true for gnome panel menu which can disappear behind the main window
(only
affects maximised mode as far as I can tell). Example: right click on
gnome-terminal and the menu *sometimes* disappears immediately!
REMARK: the bug only appears if I have a transparent gnome-terminal
in maximized mode. Strange.

[x] set focus (echinus-r218, reported by holst 2008-05-16)
If I have a window in floating mode in a tiled tag and move using
MODKEY-{j,k}
from the floating to a tiled, then the window appears to be in focus
(hilighted) but does not respond to input. By moving back and forth
between to
tiled windows fixes the problem.

[x] mouse move grab lag (echinus-r208, reported by holst 2008-05-08)

single
click but usually not.

[x] toggle struts (echinus-0.2.8, reported by holst 2008-05-06)
When you toggle the struts (with the hide-all-panels.diff patch) the
struts are
also gone on other desktops. They should be reactivated when switching
back to
a desktop with struts active.

[x] floating fixed size windows (echinus-0.2.8, reported by holst

[x] toggle struts (echinus-0.2.8, reported by holst)
