Hi Christophe,

I finally got some time to check some new Windowmaker features so I
tried to use that MiniPreview a.k.a. apercu feature but it doesn't
work out of the box and there are some inconsistencies.


Problem 1:

- exit windowmaker
- in the console manually edit GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker file in
  order to remove all occurance of MiniwindowApercuBalloons and
  ApercuSize variables
- MiniwindowPreviewBalloons is set to YES
- MiniPreviewSize is set to let's say 256
- start windowmaker
- tail -f .xsession-errors says:
/usr/local/windowmaker-0.95.7.next/bin/wmaker(wReadDefaults(defaults.c:1227)): 
warning: your configuration is using old syntax for Mini-Preview settings; 
consider running WPrefs.app to update

But it doesn't.
Let's check using wdread:
$ wdread WindowMaker MiniwindowApercuBalloons
$ wdread WindowMaker ApercuSize
$ wdread WindowMaker MiniwindowPreviewBalloons
YES
$ wdread WindowMaker MiniPreviewSize
256


Problem 2:

And at that moment miniwindows doesn't show any kind of mini preview
while balloons still work (I have tried it with balloons turned off
but without change).

So I started the WPrefs changed MiniPreviewSize to 264, saved the
change and closed WPrefs.
wdread confirms it:
$ wdread WindowMaker MiniPreviewSize
264

Mini window preview for miniwindows still doesn't show up.

Then I have tried to use the old variables:
$ wdwrite WindowMaker MiniwindowApercuBalloons YES
$ wdread WindowMaker MiniwindowApercuBalloons
YES

At that moment I can see miniwindow preview for the first time but
they look more like the original default (twice the size of the
miniwindow).

Then I start the WPrefs and change the size of the MiniPreviewSize
to something else, let's say to 256, save and close WPrefs.

Current state:
$ wdread WindowMaker MiniwindowApercuBalloons
YES
$ wdread WindowMaker ApercuSize
$ wdread WindowMaker MiniwindowPreviewBalloons
YES
$ wdread WindowMaker MiniPreviewSize
256

At that moment miniwindow preview shows up as expected, with the size
of 256px.

- exit Windowmaker
- start windowmaker

Miniwindow preview shows up in size as twice the size of the miniwindow
again.
