	Upgrade broke Openbox by Joseph Ess :: Rate this Message: \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message The upgrade yesterday did bad things to Openbox. See this screenshot for reference: http://w3.gwis.com/~slomojoe/images/openboxscreenshot.jpg The pager (the black rectangle at the bottom of the image) and the window decorations are black though the theme is configured to display light blue (see the lower corners of the xterm). The widgets (maximize/minimize buttons on the window, the pager switch window and switch workspace buttons) are garbled beyond recognition. The menu is displayed as a solid black rectangle. Submenus are broken as well. The menu still works. If I click in the right spot, it spawns a new xterm. I tried deleting my Cygwin directory and installing from scratch, but the problem persists. WindowMaker appears to work fine, so that's what I'm using for now. Any advice for getting openbox back?

The openbox package is extremely overdue for an update (distro: 0.99.1, upstream: 3.4.7.2). There is a current version in Ports, but it has dependencies on glib2 and pango that will need to be updated in the distro first. All I can say is to hang on for a little while until we can get all these other packages sorted out.

It compiles fine but Pango core-dumps, and upgrading it brings in more dependencies I wanted to deal with. Wmaker is good enough for now. Thanks to you and the rest of the team for all your hard work.

I think we are some here that will appreciate having this very small (but smart and beautiful) window manager back ! Is there anything I might try to get it start correctly ? Thanks, Arpel.

Current versions of openbox require glib2 and pango, which are both horribly outdated in the distro. With Cygwin development focus shifting to 1.7, first I need to rebuild X, update those deps (adding any new prereqs along the way), then I can adopt and update openbox.

With Cygwin development focus shifting to 1.7, first I need to rebuild X, update those deps (adding any new prereqs along the way), then I can adopt and update openbox. I'm running the 1.7 for testing and one old not updated 1.5 to have .... Openbox. No problem on my side if the updated Openbox is only available on 1.7. Any idea of what could/would be the Roadmap ? Thanks a lot Yaakov for your support, Arpel.
