Xpad README

Xpad is a virtual sticky pad system using GTK+ 2.

INSTALLATION NOTES

     To compile, just type "./configure", "make", and "make install".
     Type "xpad" now to run.

     Read the INSTALL file for more information.

USAGE NOTES

Right click to obtain configuration options and open new pads.

     Hold down CTRL and left-click drag to move a pad.  Hold down CTRL and 
                right-drag to resize a pad.

     Xpad stores its files in ~/.config/xpad.

     To change the default size of pads, edit ~/.config/xpad/default-style

COMMAND ARGUMENTS

        Standard GTK+ arguments are understood.  For more information,
                read the man page -- xpad(1).

KNOWN BUGS

        If edit lock is enabled, a pad will sometimes get in a state in
                which it will not leave edit mode.  Other pads are not 
                affected, nor is there any conflict with other windows.  But,
                the only way to lock the pad again is to close it and restart.
                If you have any information about this problem (like how to
                reliably reproduce it), please don't hesitate to send a
                bug report to xpad-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.
        
        If WM stickiness is changed through mixed calls to the WM and 
                pad controls, xpad may think the stickiness is incorrect.
                This has no effect on xpad's behavior.  Just toggle the 
                sticky control on the pad to correct it.
        Stickiness may or may not work with your window manager.  It is
                broken on at least Oroborus.
        
        When moving a pad, if the toolbar times out and disappears,
                the pad is not resized to remove the space the toolbar took up.
                This happens on at least Gnome.
                This does not happen on at least Blackbox and
                        Oroborus.
        
        If you have any patches / suggestions, please email us at
                xpad-devel@lists.sourceforge.net and let us know so we can 
                do something about it.  It will never get fixed if we don't
                know about it!
