Problems.

I've installed Afterstep 1.99.0 (finally!) from sources compiled from CVS on
Debian 'woody' with kernel 2.4.18 and XFree86 Version 4.2.1.1
It compiled and installed OK but I got that problems:
1) Can't get Wharf Folders to work. At all.
What I do:
*Wharf Pagers AfterStep3.xpm,3_dots.xpm Folder
*Wharf Pager - MaxSwallowModule "Pager" Pager 0 0
*Wharf ~Folder
I tried that piece from man Examples too. Nothing works. I get error :
Wharf warning: None of Applications assigned to the button "Pagers" cannot be
found in the PATH. Button will be disabled
but when I put the Pager line outside the Folder section, it works. It worked
with my old (1.8 or something) Afterstep too. (with Folders...~Folders instead)
(a bug to category 'tiny' about the message: Don't use no double negatives ;)
2) Wharf won't swallow ascpu.
I was using:
*Wharf asload - MaxSwallow "asload" asload -exe 'xterm -e top'
It works OK with the old asload binary. When I replace "asload" with "ascpu"
though, ascpu remains in upper left corner of the screen and wharf stays with
empty entry. Putting -withdrawn or replacing MaxSwallow with alternatives
doesn't help.
3) Mozilla (1.4) places its requesters at very random positions. Often way out
of reach - like with only a small, hard to catch piece of the window sticking
from beyond the desktop edge.
I use SmartPlacement. NoPPosition doesn't have any influence on that.
4) Things crash at random (I find my desktop without winlist or wharf from time
to time) - tell me how to diagnose this and I could try to provide you with
some more info.
