SawfishPager news



Hi folks,

some news on SawfishPager:

SawfishPager is the first one to be made ready for GTK+3 (I'm currently at 80%).
Thus there will be a new upcoming external dependency:
	
	cairo (vector graphics library) >= not known yet

actually there are only three deprecated functions left (from the current list of
deprecated functions, perhaps some more will be deprecated):

	gdk_gc_new
	gdk_gc_set_foreground
	gdk_pixmap_create_from_xpm

Those will be replaced by cairo functions. After RTFM to find out which one to use. ;)

Also there's a new feature in HEAD: changing workspace/viewport (user settable) via
mouse-scrolling. (also requires sawfish HEAD from today, as it adds two new exports in
sawfish.wm.commands.viewport-extras -- might add more exports to this module)

Works both horizontally and vertically. Say you have 2 x 2 viewports, then

top-left -> top-right -> bottom-left -> bottom-right

bottom-right -> top-left and vice versa, as it currently ignores if boundary-mode is set
to 'stop. Changing this will be done in Sawfish (as the functions reside here), once I
find some time, moving to cairo now got a higher priority.

Chris
