[X11: WM Utilities] fbpanel (revised)

After learning some rudimentaries of sed, I revised my original package to fix (1) the incorrect default configuration file and (2) the build defaulting to -O2 optimization instead of the makepkg variable.  This archive is in incoming labeled fbpanel-3.8-2.tar.gz to differentiate it from my original archive fbpanel-3.8.tar.gz.

The PKGBUILD

# Packager: Jake VanderKolk <jakevanderkolk@gmail.com>
pkgname=fbpanel
pkgver=3.8
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="A NETWM-compliant, GTK2-based panel"
depends=('gtk2')
source=(http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/fbpanel/$pkgname-$pkgver.tgz)
url="http://fbpanel.sourceforge.net/"
md5sums=('95e43a2c201feb5e272bbd9a4f78ad6e')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  sed -i 's:CFLAGS = -O2:#:g' Makefile.common
  make || return 1
  sed -i 's:ShowIconified:#ShowIconified:g' config/default
  sed -i 's:ShowMapped:#ShowMapped:g' config/default
  sed -i 's:ShowAllDesks:#ShowAllDesks:g' config/default
  make PREFIX=$startdir/pkg/usr install
}

I haven't run into any bugs in my use of the revised package.  Give it a try.[/b]

Re: [X11: WM Utilities] fbpanel (revised)

use sed to comment these wrong config lines out in the build() at the end - so the user has less to do :-)

hiho.

fbpanel is ok, but i found it quite unstable. i am using the pager though.

the panel did crash every time gentoo copied masses of files.
many errors like these

fbpanel : X error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
fbpanel : X error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
fbpanel : X error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
fbpanel : X error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
fbpanel : X error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
....

i moved to perlpanel ... if there is someone interested i'm going to make a pkg.

mak.

I wouldn't mind testing out perl panel. I always found fbpanel pretty unstable.

A Nice, Lightweight panel for nice, lightweight window managers.

Unfortunately there is a bug in the (antiquated?) default configuration file. To fix it, copy /usr/share/fbpanel/default to ~/.fbpanel, and comment out the following lines in the copied file:
Code:
ShowIconified = true
ShowMapped    = true
ShowAllDesks  = false
