Some questions:
1. You said previously that you had patches to allow cvs/pserver to
work through a firewall. Are they publicly available and if so,
where? Currently, I'm cvs'ing to my basement and then taring and
ftping to work. Highly onerous.
Yes, but it relies on your webserver allowing CONNECT to random ports, many
servers are configured to not allow this. The patches are on my website
http://www.xemacs.freeserve.co.uk/
2. The gutter stuff is cool, can it be controlled on a per-frame
Yes. They are just specifiers so you can set the visibilty for a particular
frame.
basis? I seem to be experiencing some of the endless redrawing of
tabs bugs (Solaris 8 Beta) especially in a VM frame and I'd like to
try turning of tabs on those frames (which don't really need them
anyway).
I'm in the process of concocting Stephen's idea of clipping inside a
subwindow. I'm hoping this will fix the endless redraw which I think is
related to the tab widget drawing where its not supposed to. The patch is
basically done, look for it on a cvs server near you sometime in the next
week.
3. When tabs are being redrawn something that is hard to put into
words is happening. I wonder if you've seen it? The phenomena is
that the tabs first get drawn like:
+-------------+
| Label 1 |
+-------------+
| Label 2 |
+-------------+
| Label 3 |
+-------------+
Then the region they occupy is blanked and they are redrawn
properly. Then the region blanked needs to be refreshed. This
problem is exacerbated by the fact that when things get bad, this
redrawing is happening on every keystroke.
Yes, I've seen this. It is a bug in the tabs widget but I have no idea why
it happens.
