RP: JWM problem?

I upgraded JWM from 574 to 579, see earlier blog post. Since then, there has been some peculiar behaviour, and I am now reverting to 574.

I have made a bug report to Joe, the JWM developer:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3553850&group_id=157836&atid=805416

I have recompiled 'pngoverlay' in sap6, as 01micko reported a bug. I think that previously I had compiled it in Gentoo on RP. This will be in the next Woof commit.

" I will attempt to integrate techno's jwm_tools. (again). I have a better idea on how to do it. Fixmenus is terribly slow, even on a fast box. 01micko http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=80031 One day (down the track) I am going to dump rox too. Spacefm is the front runner for a replacement. It can do pretty much what rox does and more. I'm sure plenty would want me to retire JWM too, but no. Not happening. Maybe some improved lxpanel/openbox pets... there has been plenty of recent development with that and mate going on around the forum." Chris

"i quite like jwm, but the down side with JWM is that mouse bindings can't be configured, making it incompatible with Inkscape.
