Bug#489870: fluxconf: Does not handle current fluxbox configs without breaking fluxbox

[Jason Spears-3]

Package: fluxconf
Version: 0.9.9-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Configuring fluxbox from the built-in menu with fluxconf installed
causes a non-usable window manager.  Specifically, doing Configuration
-> Focus Model -> Mouse Focus then back to Click to Focus will render
the user unable to interact with windows using the mouse, or in some
cases disable the root window menu.  This does not happen if fluxconf
is not installed.  This version of fluxconf obviously plays extremely
poorly with fluxbox 1.0.0.

While I agree that fluxconf is lacking proper support for fluxbox 1.0.0
in general, I'm not entirely sure it is related to the problem you
describe.

Let me ask you a few questions to try to narrow that one down:
- - Did you perform any change with Fluxconf _before_ using the built-in
  configuration menu? Do you click on "Let Fluxbox change the config"?
- - Must Fluxconf be launched while you change the focus model through
  the built-in menu in Fluxbox?

To be honest, I can't reproduce the problem you describe. I'd really
appreciate if you could double check and tell me if the problem remains,
and if it's related to Fluxconf at all.

For the time being, I will lower the severity to 'important'. It doesn't
mean I want to downplay your issue, but grave is clearly not appropriate
for such a tool :)


Thanks for your time, and I hope we can solve your problem eventually.
