Fixed bug #113: Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2005 08:39:22 +1000 From: "Eric Mangold" Subject: [SDL] Window manager does not show SDL window titles Hello, I have an issue with SDL-using applications and the sawfish window manager. The problem is that SDL windows do not show the window caption. My gnome panel *does* show the window name, but the actual sawfish window frame shows no caption at all. All other non-SDL applications that I use work fine. I tried a couple other window managers, and they *were* able to show the SDL window captions correctly. Though there many be other WMs that can't. I believe the problem is that SDL is using the UTF8_STRING type for the window's WM_NAME and WM_ICON properties. In fact, WM_NAME and WM_ICON are supposed to set to a TEXT type, usually STRING (ISO 8859-1). The property names _NET_WM_NAME and _NET_WM_ICON_NAME should be used to store the UTF8_STRING versions of the window title and icon name. You can see the properties I refer to with a command like this: xprop|grep -e "WM.*NAME" Please note the freedesktop.org standard: http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-1.3.html#id2506954 This page talks a little bit about the history of these properties. Just search down the page for "WM_NAME". http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html Please let me know if I can be of any assistance in resolving this issue. Thanks, Eric Mangold

==============================================================================
Using the Simple DirectMedia Layer with MacOS 7,8,9 on PPC
==============================================================================

These instructions are for people using the Apple MPW environment:
http://developer.apple.com/tools/mpw-tools/

CodeWarrior projects are available in the CWprojects directory.

==============================================================================
I.  Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer libraries:
    (This step isn't necessary if you have the SDL binary distribution)

  First, unpack the MPWmake.sea.hqx archive and move SDL.make into the
  SDL directory.

  Start MPW

  Set the current directory within MPW to the SDL toplevel directory.

  Build "SDL"  (Type Command-B and enter "SDL" in the dialog)

  If everything compiles successfully, you now have the PPC libraries
  "SDL" and "SDLmain.o" in the 'lib' subdirectory.

==============================================================================
II. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer test programs:

  First, unpack the MPWmake.sea.hqx archive, move the new rsrc directory to
  the main SDL directory, and move the makefiles in the new test subdirectory
  to the SDL 'test' subdirectory.

  Start MPW

  Set the current directory within MPW to the SDL 'test' subdirectory.

  Build the programs that have an associated MPW makefile (file ending
  with .make), including "testwin", "testalpha", and "graywin".

  Copy the SDL library file into the test directory, and run!

==============================================================================
III. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer demo programs:

  Copy one of the test program Makefiles to the demo directory
  and modify it to match the sources in the demo.

==============================================================================
IV.  Enjoy! :)

  If you have a project you'd like me to know about, or want to ask questions,
  go ahead and join the SDL developer's mailing list by sending e-mail to:

	sdl-request@libsdl.org

  and put "subscribe" into the subject of the message. Or alternatively you
  can use the web interface:
