    Remembering Kenton Lee.

    When I was doing a lot of Xlib programming (and Motif) for fun, I remembered Kenton Lee had a wealth of knowledge.

    Sadly, his original website is no more -- and even if it were -- was back in the days of http/ftp.

    Although bits of it are mirrored on the wayback machine, that can be a PITA to use.

    Using those files and some bits I had from back in the day, I've reconstituted most of Kenton's website:

    codeberg.org/thomasadam/kl-mot

    I'm also running a mirror of this:

    xteddy.org/mirror/kentonlee

    I think it's historically important enough that I'd like to preserve it in this way, alongside what archive.org are already doing.

    It would be interesting to know if Kenton Lee is still with us and whether he has any other motif-related information. If anyone can ascertain his whereabouts, I'd be interested to know!

    The Wayland compositor #phoc saw some workspace related improvements but the major changes affect the handling of override-redirect windows in #X11 applications. This allows X11 applications like #emacs, #ardour, etc. to work better. We also updated to #wlroots 0.19.3.

    4/x.

    Mystery solved: "The problem is that there are two VendorShell widgets. A dummy is provided in the Xt library, but a widget set will rely on its own being referenced. If you mention Xt first, the linker will choose the wrong one.

    Motif code will wrongly assume the Motif VendorShell has been class- initialized"

    Computers were a mistake.
