Well it wasn't easy that's for sure! First I ran it as a normal pach
with
a tee looking for *.rej; then I noticed the tee file had gotten to 1MB -
kill that sucker. So a close inspection of the patch showed it had
spaces
in the file names - what were they thinking?!!? And to top that off the
names with spaces in them weren't even bloddy changed!! - they were
zero'd
out then the same info was put back into them! Any way I sed'd out all
that stupid crap and applied it as normal. Now it appears that the
right
hand of the AS devel team knows not what the left hand of the devel team
is doing - the 130 (transparent) TextureType was moved to 129 (pixmap
for
whole menu) and this (129) was removed altogether! Yeeesh, I love this
WM, but these guys need to get with the program, get organized, and
spend
a bit more time fizing bugs instead of adding them.
I hope that answered your question more or less :)
