SawfishPager 0.7.6 will be released next week [NEW FEATURE]

[Christopher Roy Bratusek <zanghar freenet de>]

Hi all,

SawfishPager 0.7.6 will be released next weekend.
At the moment there's only one change: autohiding functionality (yay!)

On start: When enabled it takes 3 seconds, before the pager is hidden (this is, to
prevent hide-window to be called before the pager is started up). Hooks into
enter-workspace and (if enabled) enter-flipper are added which will show up the pager for
pager-unhide-time seconds.

When disabling the feature from GUI again, it takes 3 seconds before it shows up (as the
functions is also called on startup, those are again that magic 3 seconds to prevent an
error-message).

Q: But how can I now access the pager, when not flipping or switching workspaces?
A: This is there hot-spots* gets it's chance.

I assume pager is in the top-right-corner.
- get hot-spots (newest version posted yesterday on ML)
- require it in sawfishrc
- add to sawfishrc:

(define (top-right-program)
  (pager-show))

replace top-right-program by the most suitable one.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Besides, if pager doesn't build correctly for you, try again with sawfish from today.
sawfish.pc does now export Libs and Cflags fiels (I just ran into the issue today).
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Have Fun!
Chris

PS: * I just found out KDE4 also that feature. But of course not as 1337 as mine. ;)
