Forked LWM

[Phil Norman]

Hi.

Not really strictly a Terminator thing (is there a users list for LWM?).

I've forked LWM (https://github.com/philjessies/lwm) to do some bug fixing, in particular because LWM doesn't play nicely with Java apps, Terminator in particular.

One bug I've fixed is that focus-follows-mouse didn't work for Java applications, due to them having some funny 'FocusProxy' sub-window. I've put in what might be a bit of a hacky solution, but it seems to work well.

The other annoyance, which I'll look at next, is that when using LWM, Terminator's 'find' box doesn't work properly. I think it's to do with LWM refusing to allow the child window to resize itself, although it may be due to the nested structure of windows for Java apps. In any case, I'll dig into that in a bit, and hopefully get LWM fully Terminator-compliant.

TTFN,

Phil

There's +jessies-...@googlegroups.com. I've bcc:d terminator-users.

Google suggests that the Jessies version, 1.2.1 according to

https://github.com/software-jessies-org/jessies/blob/master/lwm/VERSION, has fallen some 12 years behind 

http://www.jfc.org.uk/software/lwm.html.  Looks like you based yours on the newer upstream.  How did you know?

I searched about for 'lwm window manager', and JFC's name kept cropping up. He's mentioned in the lwm man page as secondary author, too.

i was going to say "why not bring it back under the one jessies roof by importing it into the jessies github repo? seems silly for the same group of people to have two forks 😀" ... but it seems like that's what you did anyway. cool!
