• Rewrote the configuration user interface. Improvements include:
  • Key bindings may now include parameters. E.g. this finally allows shell commands to be bound to keys using the GUI (use the new run-shell-command command)

  • Nautilus-like user-levels to tailor the options shown to the expertise of the user

  • Options may have much richer type descriptions (including match-window options). Also, extra widget types and containers may be added as extra Lisp modules

  • By default the stand-alone configurator commits changes to the window manager as they are made, instead of waiting for the `Try' button to be pressed

  • Added dependences--options with dependences are only editable when the value of their dependence is non-nil

• Rewrote window stacking code to be based on "stacking predicates"---functions that accept or reject a possible stacking configuration. This allows the "stack-transients-above-parents" option to work correctly, only keeping transient windows above their own parent windows

• The configure-event handler now understands and handles the full complexity of stacking requests (Brad Thompson)

• New frame-part attribute: scale-foreground. The cursor attribute may now be a function

• Made the centered, centered-on-parent and under-pointer placement modes clamp the window into the current work area (i.e. without overlapping windows that shouldn't be covered). Added a stagger placement mode

• When grabbing window icons to images, preserve their shape masks

• Moved window-history options to placement group. Fixed some more bugs and sub-optimal default option values

• Don't set cursors for button classes, use the default value

• GNOME SKIP_FOCUS window hint sets never-focus property on window, as well as the ignored property

• Translation updates: de (Karl Eichwalder), ru (Valek Filippov), da (Kenneth Christiansen)

• Added mostly-complete support for using gdk-pixbuf instead of Imlib (requires an experimental Xlib version of the gdk-pixbuf library)

• Various bug fixes and other minor changes...
