Description Johannes Truschnigg 2005-03-28 05:27:07 UTC

A bug in the pekwm-source causes certain windows of various appliactions not to get decorations applied on them properly. This is annoying, since it prevents them from being shaded and/or moved around conveniently.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
I did not figure out what types of windows are affected in detail, but for example the Mozilla Preferences are, as well as GAIM Preferences, gqview Preferences, and probably a bunch of others with similar characteristics.
Actual Results:  
Mentioned windows don't get decorations applied on them.

Expected Results:  
Mentioned windows should have decorations applied on them.

There's already a patch at hand, I've applied it successfully to the sources
available in portage. Compiles nicely, as it's only one line or so of source
code that actually changed.
It's available at >> http://nxhost.ath.cx/~colo/src/dialog_fix.patch <<
It's not my code, but I've actually forgotten where I got it from. I'd be happy
to see it included in Portage, since this bug is quite annoying imo.

Added in CVS for the latest ebuild. I'll try to talk with upstream to see if this is going to be fixed on new releases.
Thanks for the patch.
