This is a description of all the changes made in the %hx since the version 3.1.1.
This is a bug-fix release with no major changes in the behaviour.
The most important fixes are the OPENLOOK desktop (a total rewrite) and the fact that the %xclients and %xclients.m scripts are now sourced in the foreground.
hep/HEP_desktop.OPENLOOK
has been rewritten from scratch.
It is now much smaller and relies on /usr/openwin/lib/Xinitrc
to properly start the OPENLOOK session.
hep/HEP_Xsession.f
:
RunFile
does not source shell
scripts in the background anymore because this caused problems
(messy output, not a real "source", may create orphans processes);
warning: files like %xclients or %xclients.m
must start their programs in the background, otherwise they will
hang the X session...
apply_policy
now check /usr/openwin/lib/Xinitrc
for the OPENLOOK desktop
dump_shell_env
has been slightly enhanced
