Created attachment 37684 [details, diff] patch to add -ib <width> / internalBorder: <width>
This patch doesn't work. Aterm segfaults immediately after starting when it's applied. I've checked it with all the Gentoo patches and without any of them - the results were the same.
i checked it again: a plain aterm + configure + make -> no crash here. i know some guys on the irc who used the patch and it worked immeadiatly. so, perhaps you can provide a bt from gdb? just "doesnt work" isnt enough to nail the problem down :)
Here is some more info: (vanilla aterm + your patch) CFLAGS=-g Configured with: ./configure --enable-transparency --enable-fading --enable-background-image --enable-menubar --enable-graphics --enable-utmp --with-x (it's the same with just './configure').
