Re: Unresponsive applications

2011-09-22 Thread Josh Leverette
In Haiku OS, there is a separate thread for window content versus input response, so its (theoretically) impossible to make an applications completely nonresponsive. It should always at least be able to resize. I would love to see this set as the standard model in Wayland, even if compatibility wit

This took a good bit of time to process, but I encourage everyone on the mailing list to read it and discuss it. If we do implement an autosave API similar to OS X Lion's, the session management would be simplified in a number of ways. On Mon, Aug 1, 2011 at 9:46 PM, Chani wrote: > so, as far as

2011-07-07 Thread Josh Leverette
With the exception of incoming phone call scenario, how does one go about cancelling a touch event anyways? Unless I'm wildly mistaken, this is an unlikely scenario. The way you normally cancel touch events is you touch down on a button, then move your finger off the button and lift up, but that is

Will everything in GNOME be forwards compatible with Wayland *without* using an X session within Wayland? I didn't think that was going to happen. Therefore we should start over with a clean base that's useful both to those with and without multitouch, and then figure out how to get all the gnome a

After you get started, let me know of any bitesize fixes I can work on. I've never worked on a large project, so starting small for me would be best, but I am very confident in C++. The main recommendation I have is to start from the assumption that this screen will be projector size and could b

I'm not certain, but I think there could eventually be enough variation for that to be needed. However, even if there isn't, parsing an XML file might be a better long term solution that weakly linked functions and things like that. Perhaps we could modify his idea about an XML profile structure

No? wayland is a very separate project. It is not backwards compatible with X. It will run X programs in a copy of X. Nobody is panicking anyways. On Dec 21, 2010, at 8:27 PM, dar...@chaosreigns.com wrote: > The X server contains lots and lots of crufty old code going back to the > 1980s that no
