Its removal was discussed by several developers and was fully intentional. There is no (or very little) activity on Blackbox upstream, so in this case it was nessecitated that I create my own patch. This problem also affects Fluxbox, but as that project is more active, I was able to contact its developers on the issue, and they have come up w/ something similar to your first idea (reading a style attribute containing only the path to an image). If you can produce a better patch, I will gladly review and likely include it. If anyone attempts to create a patch, please think it through carefully. The existing code simply passes the full rootCommand to bexec(). If the same method is employed, but using a predefined bg setter, make sure that no code can be appended to the bg attribute and blindly passed to the bexec(). PS, I dont mean for this to be inflamatory, but if it is difficult for a user to set his own root image, he is using the wrong distro, and probably the wrong WM. If this is a genuine issue for people, I would be glad to walk them through it, as I am constantly supporting our distro on IRC, and others on the forums. Sorry, guys. I'm unable to provide a patch for BlackBox. Guess I'll have to live with this, until someone else is able to resolve this. |
