I'm one of many many people who submitted a duplicate bug report when this happened to me, without realising quite how old this problem is. New Wine versions are coming thick and fast, but every few days someone posts another report that the same problem exists in the latest version with such-and-such a DirectX app. Does anyone know if this is ever likely to be fixed?

I guess this is slightly offtopic, but the post about the JIT and garbage collection made me wonder why LLVM supports JIT compilation at all. It has much smaller scope for optimisation due to the speed requirements, takes more memory and causes the same work to be repeated over and over for each execution. What reason is there for anything to use JIT compilation over ahead-of-time compiling to

This patch makes windows zoom in and out of a zero point on create/unmap. I've cleaned up the formatting/style to be consistent with the rest of compiz (eg adding spaces around operators, tabifying, using C style comments). This patch could use some more work. It should only apply to decorated toplevels, but right now it also affects XUL menus (I guess because they are not unmanaged like

For those who haven't seen it, the compiz forums are now at http://compiz.net/, along with the new spiffy logo. It'd be nice to have a basic web page/wiki there as well so people can upload documentation and so on. thanks -mike

Hi, I've got Chinese Windows application that appears to have a problem with Chinese fonts under wine (emulating Windows 98). It's available from here: http://www.gtjadzh.com/ (download starts automatically after some seconds, filename is setup_dzh5_fuyi.exe. When running "wine setup_dzh5_fuyi.exe" from a console, I get get to see a window full of garbage characters (see

I know this list is meant for discussion of compiz specifically, but .... 1) I sometimes see compiz spit out "Could not bind pixmap to texture" messages, even though it _appears_ to be working fine. I randomly guess that this is due to me running out of video memory (iirc I have 64mb of vram). Is that possibly a problem? I think Vista and OS X manually manage video

I''m currently writing a system that stores user-created documents. Each user belongs to a specific group, and the system supports multiple groups. The thing is, my users want to be able to hide pieces of a document from other groups. So for example, lets say Joe of team A has written this document: "Hello all, our secret plan is finally complete! <private>We will begin

Hi, For those of you that attended RubyConf 2007, what were your impressions? Any more thoughts on JRuby, Rubinius, IronRuby or Wuby? Regards, Dan

I''ve been working with rails for a while now. Rails is the second web framework I''ve tried. It blows the doors off catalyst (perl''s best framework). I even just wrote my first plugin (broomstick). Ruby''s ability to meta-program blew me away with it''s ease of use. I''ve been so impressed with the helpers that rails uses to make a lot of

Hi! Before Rails 2.0 is coming, I suggest not to make CookieStore the default session storage. It stores clear-text values on the client-side and the integrity check hash can be brute-force attacked. I understand that this has been set due to speed advantages, but I believe it''s better to make better security a default. I''ve written a blog post about this

anyone able to explain logic behind "rake spec" startup? i.e. the below steps & why things occur when they do Macintosh-2:myequity greg$ rake spec --trace (in /Users/greg/source/myequity) ** Invoke spec (first_time) ** Invoke db:test:prepare (first_time) ** Invoke db:abort_if_pending_migrations (first_time) ** Invoke environment (first_time) ** Execute environment ** Execute

The switcher plugin has a bug that I don't have time to track down right now (finals on monday!). If there is no panel running then the switcher correctly disables its zoom-from-corner behavior, unfortunately it sometimes gets stuck and won't disappear until you alt-tab again. thanks -mike

I've started working my way through Quinn Storms differential, hopefully we can pull some of this stuff upstream. This one seems like a nice place to start. Credit to Quinn Storm <livinglatexkali@gmail.com> ChangeLog: * plugins/gconf.c (gconfGetValue): Fix typo that caused color parsing to be incomplete. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was

I find it very awkward for alt-tab to switch to windows on other desktops, but some people prefer it. Here is an implementation of a setting for it. It adds a new window API, to see if it's on the visible workspace. (I wrote this one) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Switching viewports/desktops/cube faces seems to mess up the stacking order - Quinn Storm says the visible stacking order isn't reflected somewhere else. Bottommost windows don't seem to work right - not sure if this is a bug in compiz or gimmie but Gimmies button bar never drops below maximized windows and it does in Metacity. Will investigate when I get a chance. thanks -mike

Hi, In the past I've found that using the glitz backend to Cairo with Xorg made some simple animation tests I wrote go much faster. I haven't yet tried them with Xgl but I was wondering which backend is theoretically 'best' in this configuration? My understanding is that Xgl feeds everything drawn to the screen via OpenGL - a bit like Quartz 2D Extreme will when Apple get it

Right, but you can get this by doing profile directed optimisation during development so end users/production systems don't have the overhead. Also it seems to me that at some point the bookkeeping and analysis overhead for
