Release 1.5.3-3
| Released: 20 Nov 2008 20:56:53 -0600 |
| Changes: |
- Log changes:
- In addition to the XWin logs now being found in /var/log (as of the
last release), now a separate log is created for each display. The
default log location is now /var/log/XWin.0.log, when run as "X :1" the
log will be /var/log/XWin.1.log, etc.
- The -logfile flag argument may contain "%s" (w/o quotations) to have
the display number automatically substituted; e.g. "XWin :2 -logfile
~/tmp/XWin.%s.log" will create ~/tmp/XWin.2.log
- The verbosity of the logfile and the console output should now match
The messages about /tmp/.X11-unix creation and ownership are silenced
Multiwindow mode fix: Windows which remember their placement don't drift with each instance
Multihead fixes:
- Windows don't appear offscreen when the primary monitor is not upper-left
- XWin dialogs are placed near the tray icon so that they don't end up
in the middle of the virtual desktop, possibly split between two monitors
Numerous clipboard fixes, including a fix for clipboard startup with XDMCP
Built-in fonts are used in addition to server-side fonts. The default
font has changed as a result, but the full selection of fonts is still
available if installed
Temporary disabled the NumLock/CapsLock synchronization due to several
bug reports.

correctly; window geometry take window decorations into account; window
decorations do not appear and immediately disappear when they shouldn't
be shown at all
- Moved system.XWinrc to /etc/X11. This file is meant only as a sane
default; personal customizations should be made in ~/.XWinrc
