Package: icewm
Version: 1.2.15-1
Severity: important

Recently installed woody on an ultra-1. Changed sources.list to point to testing packages (sarge), and installed XF 4.3 and subsequently icewm.
On loading, icons were messed-up, but menu worked, so tried to launch
xterm; entry appeared in task-bar, but no application window appeared.
Upgraded X and icewm to unstable, which fixed the icon problem (libtiff issue?). This combination of icewm/X is slightly better, in that a
title-bar appears, which can be moved around - but the window contents
are not displayed.

Currently using twm (get that retro feeling...) which displays window
contents fine. Also have stable (woody) X/icem installed on another
ultra-1 machine, which works great.

Not sure if this qualifies as grave severity, since afaik it only
affects sparc - I have a sarge icewm on an x86 system at work, and it is running fine (just checked: version 1.2.14-2)

Cheers to the icewm packager(s) : I've used icewm for going on for 5
years now under debian :)

What happens with different icewm versions? icewm-experimental,
icewm-lite

Does not mean anything. Icewm has a large list of dependencies, and I
expect a bug in some of them, maybe in your X server (broken xrandr or
xinerama support or whatever, something messing up the window location
data).

It would be much more interesting to know what happens if you run twm,
open some windows and then restart icewm from the twm menu.

Not sure if this qualifies as grave severity, since afaik it only

Not at all.

Eduard.

There isn't an entry on the twm menu for this, AFAICT. Is there a way of
adding it?

icewm-lite

I will try this.
