There seems to be an issue with the RECORD extension in Xorg.

I will do my best to find a workaround for Xnee (the one I came up with yesterday didn’t work that well 😉 ) and also focus on solving the problem in X.
How many time do we have to repeat that to learn?
It’s possible to write scripts using some GNU Xnee bash functions to fake user input. To speed up things (don’t pre optimise!!!) I’ve tested launching one one instance of cnee and use a fifo or tail -f to write to that instance. The solution has been buggy to say the least.
A while ago, I got yabr (yet another bug report). This time I decided to be a bit bolder and perhaps remove old code. So right now when diving down into the report I remove all the fancy fifo and file/tail -f stuff and start a new cnee process for every xnee function the user calls. Guess what, it works better. Smoothly. …. and not consuming that much CPU.

So again, the kiss principe proves to be a good one.
Went to the Debian Lenny party that Jeremiah invited to (see his blog post).
Here are some pictures:
Jeremiah Foster is the new and first debmaster for maemo.org. The first debmaster ever, regardless of project? Probably.
Congrats Jeremiah!
Also: FOSDEM …. always great
… Jeremiah, squeese GNU Xnee in to maemo 😉
