* The 'Applications' menu doesn't honour the $PATH env variable, so
for instance I installed gimp using fink, which has put it in /sw/bin.
I then add /sw/bin to my path, and typing "gimp" at the command line
(eg. in an xterm) works fine. In the Applications menu however, if you
add <Name>Gimp <Command>gimp then it doesn't work (it just does
nothing). You have to type <Name>Gimp <Command>/sw/bin/gimp for it to
work.
it honours the PATH variable set in the environment that X11.app was
started from, this usually doesn't include /sw/bin
* If in the Applications menu I enter a command with parameters, it
does nothing, eg. if I have 'ls -al', it does nothing. I wondered if
this was because the full path of 'ls' wasn't given, so I put in the
<command> part '/bin/ls -al', and also tried '/bin/ls -al /' (i.e.
with a place that I want listed... not incredibly useful I know but I
was trying to debug!), but all 3 variations result in nothing
(visibly) happening when I select the menu item.
did you try with X apps? "ls" doesn't create any windows, so you won't
see anything
* Under non- quartz-wm window managers (eg. Sawfish), there seems to
be a bug with the Mac OS X menubar & X11's coordinate system... X11
doesn't honour the fact that the menubar is there when it positions
windows, resulting in window titlebars being behind the Mac OS X
menubar.
this will be fixed in the next release
* It'd be nice to be able to do fullscreen, even if it's a single
OpenGL texture (for Quartz Extreme purposes), so that we can have the
GNOME / KDE docks etc.
we have a bug report tracking this request, but it's not a high priority
* It'd be nice if the 'Customise Application Menu' screen let you
browse for an app, rather than type it in.
I added this to the bug tracking changes to the Customize panel
* Customisable keys for emulating 3 button mice would be nice.
I filed a bug to track this, thanks,
John
