[3ddesktop-dev] Re: Fluxbox support?


I have a patch to fix some problems in fluxbox that prevents
3ddesktop from getting up to date workspace info.  If anyone
wants to try it and confirm it works before I post it to the
fluxbox list that would be cool.  Its against 0.1.14.

http://desk3d.sourceforge.net/dl/fluxbox-0.1.14-workspace.patch

There is also still a problem in 3ddesktop having to do with when 
the signal to switch workspaces is given.  The workspace is set 
when you hit enter to select a desktop and that causes some 
windows/apps to show up before the zoom out animation is complete.  
I will fix that but the main problem should be resolved with this 
patch.
