When I emerged fluxbox-0.1.14-r2, the latest "stable" non-developmental version of fluxbox, I did not have the menu option to remember window states. This should appear when you right-click the title bar of an open window. I discovered that the "remember" patch was commented out in fluxbox-0.1.14-r2.ebuild. I uncommented the patch, re-emerged fluxbox-0.1.14-r2, and can now have fluxbox remember window states. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge /usr/portage/x11-wm/fluxbox-0.1.14-r2.ebuild 2. launch fluxbox 3. open an application in fluxbox 4. right-click on the title bar of the application (note that Remember is not an option) 5. nano -w /usr/portage/x11-wm/fluxbox/fluxbox-0.1.14-r2.ebuild as root 6. uncomment line reading "epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-remember.patch 7. emerge /usr/portage/x11-wm/fluxbox/fluxbox-0.1.14-r2.ebuild 8. Repeat steps 2, 3, 4. This time, "Remember" will be an option. Actual Results: Ultimately, I was able to right-click the title bar, click on Remember, and force Fluxbox to remember window states such as geometry, placement, etc. Expected Results: I should not have had to uncomment the patch listed above. The patch is stable, causes no problems, and should be enabled by default. Doing a simple "emerge fluxbox" will emerge the DEVELOPMENT version of fluxbox (0.9.8), instead of the STABLE version (0.1.14).
Sorry, but fluxbox 0.1.x is going to be removed from the tree as soon as the mips guys move 0.9.8 to stable (estimated time: <1 week). Upstream don't support 0.1.x any more, so we're not keeping it in the tree. For now, if you really have to use 0.1.x, you can uncomment the patch line yourself in overlay. Closing this as WONTFIX. If you really really disagree with me, reopen with an offer to fix all the 0.1.x bugs :)
