For the politic of Debian, it's easy the version stable (actually 4.0 -> Etch) is frozen. Never upgrade on a version stable, except the security update. If anybody want use Debian with latest version of each package, he can use version testing or unstable. Ok thank you for your help, have an nice day 2008/11/16 Kris Maglione <maglione.k< at >gmail.com> Michel 2008-11-16T11:02:18 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.window-managers.wmii/3087 3.1 is ancient and unsupported. If debian can't bother to update a package after 2 years, well, I have nothing to say for it. The gap is because your terminals ask to be sized in increments. It's handled much better in newer builds. Kris Maglione 2008-11-16T01:00:22 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.window-managers.wmii/3086 Thank you. 1) it's a link to see a screenshot of my computer : http://paganshore.free.fr/view.php?id=464 2) In fact, I use the 3.1 version and not version 3.6 because I use Debian Etch and it's 3.1 version in the repository. 2008/11/16 Kris Maglione <maglione.k< at >gmail.com> On Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 7:16 PM, Michel <yoko.java< at >gmail.com> wrote: Michel 2008-11-16T00:52:41 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.window-managers.wmii/3085 Two things. 1) You'll need to elucidate.

Use single quotes ('). Kris Maglione 2008-11-12T00:01:19 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.window-managers.wmii/3079 rc.wmii uses the Plan 9 date program by default. It doesn't know strftime(3) escapes. Just use /usr/bin/date. Kris Maglione 2008-11-12T00:00:32 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.window-managers.wmii/3078 Hello, Very limited width of status bar is kind of issue for me so I want to strip default date output by removing "GMT 2008". I would rather modify date utility parameters than use sed. It can be easly done (I hope so) by invoking `date "+%a %b %d %H:%M:%S"` in Status Bar Info section of rc.wmii And here is the problem, no matter what I try I just can't make it works, date is not displayed at all or has some dodgy value. I belive that it has nothing to do with wmii itself and it's just a matter of setting correct escape characters. Can anybody help me with this configuration, please? All my experiments failed. I'm using wmii-3.6 on FreeBSD with tcsh shell.

Aside from being grotesquely large and unweildy, it's got a horrible user interface and an annoying habit of keeping passwords in plain text and mailing them out on the first of the month (Happy mailman day! in two days...)

I tried the Mod-Ctrl-t approach and it worked! When I want to switch back to my local desktop, I just do Mod-Ctrl-t again. I've set the grabmod keybinding to be different on the remote wmii desktop so as to not confuse it but I don't think that was necessary. Thanks again!

I have a special tag, 'x', that automatically removes all key bindings when selected and removes them when deselected. The Mod-x binding is the exception, as it toggles between the 'x' tag and the previous tag, no matter what. The following rc code does the job for me: # A special hack for running Xephyr. When switching to the ‘x’ tag, # disable all key and mouse bindings so I can run a test instance # of wmii there. The M-x binding is the only one retained, and can # toggle between the ‘x’ view and the previous view. fn Key-$MODKEY-x { seltag = `{wi_seltag} switch($"seltag) { case x if(~ $"_x_tag '') wmiir xwrite /ctl view $viewprev if not wmiir xwrite /ctl view $_x_tag _x_tag=() case * _x_tag = $seltag wmiir xwrite /ctl view x }} # Also, add a M-i binding to toggle between the two most # recent views. For convenience, this code is tied to the # M-x code. fn Key-$mod-i { wmiir xwrite /ctl view $viewprev Kris Maglione 2008-10-29T03:54:40 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.window-managers.wmii/3069 $MODKEY-Control-t in the default wmiirc will toggle grabbing your keystrokes. I use it for this exact purpose. Christian Christian G. Warden 2008-10-28T23:47:51 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.comp.window-managers.wmii
