- Just a warning: I got the patches from there, applied them (no reject files),
- compiled it and:
- olwm works, clock works.
- cmdtool -> reboot (or login from a different system/terminal and kill
- the xserver, etc.)
- shelltool -> crash.
- textedit -> crash as soon as a file is loaded.
- Didn't test the other clients, though.
- Running just one xview program (1.2 MB file size isn't large, anyway) is
- not a real test !
- Perhaps this program was even olwm, which, indeed, is working.
-
- Just a hint for others to wait. At least two persons are trying to
- get it working (including me).
