It might seem redundant, but without them the changes could be made at the wrong place, even with line numbers given. > Would anybody mind having a look at patch_new.diff compared to the > patch_old.diff in http://www.home.no/hedhnta/openbox.tgz and tell me how > to succeed in only including what is absolutely necessary into this patch > file -- in a way that works? > > The file also include the theme files, that together with a proper iconset > would look terribly stunning.
