Hi to all:
I have a the following problem with xmaxima:
The problem is that I can't use the menus. When a menu pops up I can select
an element and click on it but nothing happens. When I click one element the
menu closes, in the other window managers if I click and keep the mouse pointer
over the menu it doesn't close. Other strange thing: when I open a menu, it
overlap with the interactive window of maxima. If I click an element of the
menu the interative window prompt appears where I clicked!!! That is, the click
didn't affect the menu, but affected the interactive window that is behind the
menu.
Well, I have tested xmaxima with kde, gnome, twm, etc and the problem appears
only
with xfwm.
I'll appreciate ideas or hints. I need xmaxima to work and need to get rid of
this problem. I don't want to migrate to another wm.
The following is one comment I received in the xfce mailing list:
#########
I've just had a look at the source code for xmaxima, and it seems to build
menus
from scratch, rather than using the usual Tk menu widgets. Now, it may have
very
good reasons for doing things that way (e.g. it may have been originally
written
several years ago under a very old version of Tk that didn't support menu bars,
or
around the time Tk 8.0 introduced a new menu bar mechanism, but xmaxima still
needed to run on old versions of Tk); but obviously, the more unusual the code,
the
less likely it is to work.....
########
Is someone in this list using xmaxima with xfce? Has the same problems?
TIA
Regards,
Marcelo.
