I've uploaded the latest version of Xdtm onto ftp.x.org and
avahi.inria.fr.
First what is Xdtm?
The README says:
The X Desktop Manager is a graphical shell for the X Window System,
it provides mechanisms for all the usual shell activities and is
intended to reduce the training necessary for UNIX novice to become
productive on your system.
System requirements: An ANSI compliant C compiler, ideally 'gcc'
The X Window system release 4 libraries.
The Athena widget set (header files +
library)
The Xpm3 library from Arnaud Le Hors
lex (or flex) and yacc (or bison)
a smile on your face :-)
What's new in 2.5.5:
- This is mainly a bug fix release. Here are the bugs that are
fixed up (most of them were introduced in previous version so you'd
better switch):
- Long listing is corrupted.
- . and .. does not get their name when not using their
respective specs.
- Process can not be killed from process list dialog.
- Icons are displayed in reverse video on displays where
back pixel is 0 instead of 1.
- New resource silentSelection to try to start a program even
though the selection list size does not match the program
requirements, e.g., the program needs no selection and there
is one when you start it.
Still in my TODO list:
- a shared output feature for verbose operations that does not
interact with user. It will be a term window included in main
Xdtm window.
Many thx to:
Simulog engineers (whoever@simulog.fr) for reporting bugs,
myself for fixing them ;-)
