Fluxbox unsolves bug.

, , ,

I have play around a lots of fluxbox svn version over the weekend, and discover a bug on windows title, while display non-english characters while you login with en-UTF-8 locale.

fluxbox

Observed that the windows title, it could not recognize the font and display correctly, even I overlay it with chinese font in ~/.fluxbox/overlay. But in gtk part of space, observe the tab, it do works to display properly.

Any Chinese fluxbox user facing the same problem?
Probably not if you login as a zh locale, what if you login to en locale and need the windows title to display properly? In gnome, they do not have such problem, in fluxbox they have, who can fix it? which developer should I email to?

i have install fluxbox 1.0rc3

ubuntu beryl

Indeed it shows the capabilities of berly, and it is a very fancy desktop. But I just can't use this kind of desktop, its full of eye candy and I will get bored after using it for long and find it irritating.

Anyway, it is cool to show off to friends who actually bought windows vista or think of buying windows vista.

First of all I type
mplayer -vo x11 filename.flv


Try to make it fullscreen my press 'f'

Later I change x11 to gl2, and make a fullscreen again.
mplayer -vo gl2 filename.flv
