Re: icewm releases

Unfortunately IceWM is not perfect for me. It has a few glitches.

I do have patches for some (notably there was an issue with some windows
getting size mangled when going to full screen and back). But
unfortunately, one glitch - that a blinking pidgin icon disappeard from the
tray soon (I had to disable blinking)  remains unfixed.

This is very sad for me as I feel I have to move off IceWM to something
like LXDE and I really don't want to! The simplicity of configuration,
speed, absence of annyiong drag-drop reactions, and possibility of complete
foolproof lockdown apply to me strongly.

Perhaps I should make a last ditch try by trying to build an
upstream-sourced IceWM on Debian, instead of the distro one with whatever
patches I need, and hope the issue goes away? but somehow I doubt it...
