Can't remember if I replied to this yet. I am in the process of getting my Inspiron 8500 returned after having it replaced (bought it 3 weeks ago). Both the original and the replacement randomly freeze. Google for ["Inspiron 8500" freeze] and you'll see exactly what I mean. I have been setting up computers for the past two weeks now.
I have finally ordered a Gateway 450X notebook. Hopefully that will work better and allow me to spend a little more time looking at patches.
Good luck, on the bright side since it went south so fast you didn't lose too much data on the drives.
In other words, I might look at your patch tomorrow, or I might look at it next week. Can't say for sure.
In any case, thanks for the patch, I like the idea and am looking forward to seeing what it does.
I'm attaching the diffs against test95 below, please use these for any testing you do (there are several new files, so if patch asks: you do want to make new files...). The file _usr_X11R6_lib_X11_system.XWinrc has all the documentation on the RC format anyone'd need. If the file's not found, you get the exact same behaviour as test95 as far as menus/icons/etc.
** There's also a off-by-one bugfix in winmultiwindowclass.c, so no matter what that file's changes should go in... **
Oh yeah, a simple "if (fork()==0) { execl(); exit(0); }" seems to spawn X and Windoze apps fine. I know there was some discussion about this earlier...
