compiz - Jul 2006 - Patch for Java app and Compiz

Hi to all:

My name is Mauricio and I write from Chili, I new on the list, so hi to all.

I'm using Xgl and compiz and is an amazing technologie, also even as a
"alpha" software work allmost perfect on my inspiron 6400-ATIX1300.

I only have 2 problems. The first related to some java app and compiz (like
limewire), so I read on the list something about a patch to try to solve this, I
have the compiz-java.bin and xgl-java-wmhack.bin files, but I don't know how
to apply this patch, can someone help me with this??, I need the sources of
compiz and re-compile compiz??, if this is true, how can I access to the last
CVS version of compiz??

My second problem is related with "Alt-Gr", this key don't work at
all, I remap all compiz-shorcut and all work great, but I can't use the
"@", "#", etc...I read some post about this and say that a
solution is do a "xmodmap =
/usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.<somelanguaje>", but all files on that
directory make my keyboard layout even worse, any ideas tips??

Thanks for your atention...

Mauricio

P.D: I'm a OpenGl developer and I very interesting in work on Xgl-Compiz, I
also have some window/pluggins ideas and I'm working on implementing some of
them (only as separated opengl test), and I wonder how can I integrate this
ideas with compiz??, is this posible??

Thanks

And great work!!!

Well, I was using gentoo, and ptching things in gentoo is a little 
different (hacking the ebuild..), but not hard.

More over it is not really hard to patch anything once you get the hang 
of the procedure. I personally am a java dev, so I'm not overly 
experienced with patching as it's not a used procedure for change in our 
company.

There are great websites for this, so check out for example 
http://www.cpqlinux.com/patch.html.

Bottom line is this:

Create a patch:
diff -Naur olddir newdir > new-patch

Using a patch:
patch -p0 <new-patch
or
patch -p1 <new-patch

which one to use, depends on the working directory. the -p strips off 
the directory levels. There is a more complete explanation of this in 
the link provided.

hope this helps.
