If flwm is compiled with fltk 1.1, the Alt-Tab root menu will not function properly, requiring Enter to be pressed to complete the selection (normally the highlighted option is selected when Alt is released). Compiling flwm against fltk 1.0.11 yields the expected behavior. The DEPEND should be changed from >=x11-libs/fltk-1.0.11 to =x11-libs/fltk-1.0.11.
so, is this a config issue or is this a bug with fltk ?
I'm guessing fltk bug, though it may just be that flwm has not been made up-to-date. I do see that there are no changes made to fltk or flwm in the portage tree.
try rc5 ... its not in portage, but you can just copy the ebuild to the new version number `cd /usr/portage/x11-libs/fltk` `cp fltk-1.1.0_rc4.ebuild fltk-1.1.0_rc5.ebuild`
ok, I have made some changes to both fltk and flwm. It turns out that flwm works best with the 1.0 series of fltk rather than the 1.1 series. An emerge rsync; emerge -u world should pull in the new ebuilds for each. Please test and gimme feedback. Also, please make sure any other apps which use fltk are performing as you expect them to.
sorry for the delay, yes it does work. I can't rsync at work, and there is no more pserver access, so I couldn't test when I first saw the fix.
