Hi Folks,
This is an extra release of the xtoolplaces patch
for adding support for xtoolwait-0.3, by Richard Huveneers.
It actually adds support for many xtoolwait-like tools.
This patch should be applied to the xtoolwait 1.3.1 (or 1.3p3)
package by Adam Stein <adam@iset.scan.mc.xerox.com>.
(which can be found at
src.doc.ic.ac.uk:/usenet/comp.sources.x/volume19/Xtoolplaces)
Xtoolplaces is a program which saves your X-windows desktop
configuration, so you can restart in the same configuration.
Xtoolwait is a tool that starts an application and waits for
its window to map, and then exits. This improves performance
of your X-session at startup time, when compared to just
starting everything in the background.
Besides adding support for xtoolwait it also fixes some
problems in xtoolplaces 1.3.1.
Originally I released this patch as part of the xtoolwait-0.3
package, but for some reasons (mainly stupidity ;-)) some of the
bug-fixes did not find their way into the patch. Since
there will be no new release of xtoolwait in the near future
I decided to release the patch separately, this time with the correct
bugfixes.
So, here it is, enjoy,
Peter Bollerman <bollerma@math.ruu.nl>
For details, here is the lsm:

Title: xtoolplaces_xtoolwait-pl1
Version: 0.3pl1
Entered-date: 16JAN96
Description: This is a patch with two objectives:
1.: fix xtoolplaces 1.3.1 to compile and run under
X11R6. ( package can be obtained from
src.doc.ic.ac.uk /usenet/comp.sources.x/volume19/Xtoolplaces)
2.: Add support for xtoolwait-0.3 by
Richard Huveneers. This patch should be distributed
with that package, but recent bug reports prompted this
interim release. ( package can be obtained from
sunsite.unc.edu /pub/Linux/X11/xutils)
Keywords: save workspace xtoolplaces X11R6 toolwait

Subject: Test failure for e2fsprogs 1.02
Date: Mon, 05 Feb 96 21:17:54 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
As some of you have noticed, the recently released version of e2fsprogs,
version 1.02, may fail a regression test --- f_dup2 --- when you compile
it from the source distribution. This will happen if you compile it on
an ELF system; the problem is that e2fsck is calculating a floating
point number, and a.out and ELF systems are producing different results.
(6.2% versus 6.3%). I generated the test case results using a a.out
binary, and so people compiling e2fsck using ELF will see a regression
test failure when the build process runs the e2fsck test suite.
You can ignore this test failure for 1.02; I'll fix this problem in the
next release, probably by not using floating point (which in general is
the correct solution to many problems :-).
For future reference, when reporting a problem with a failed test case,
look at the tests directory, and do a "ls *.failed". For each test that
failed, the Makefile will generated a diff file comparing the expected
and actual output of e2fsck. Please send me that diff file for any
failed tests; this will help me determine how and why the test case
failed.
Thanks!!
- Ted
