Package: xsnow
Version: 1:1.42-2
Severity: important
Hi Cai -
I reported this bug a while ago against a package version prior to 1.42-4,
I believe. I can't find my bug report on bugs.debian.org. The 1.42-4
version worked correctly with KDE at the time.
This changed with version 1:1.41-2 when the previous maintainer had to
back out the root window code due to a licensing problem. (See
changelog.Debian entry for Mon, 24 May 2004 12:24:55 -0700.)
When you took over as maintainer from Randall, you sent email closing
the bug report because a new upstream release was out. I tried the new
package out of testing. I'm sorry to report the bug still exists.
Under KDE 3.4, xsnow still overwrites all the icons on the desktop until
they are no longer visible. I can still click on the place they used to be
and run a program. Refreshing the desktop brings them back temporarily.
I'll be happy to test any patches you are able to come up.
