Hello!
As I predicted last week, my "svn diff | wc -l" is now 3000 lines bigger (it outputs "7866").
The part of the code that deals with input was completely restructured so now it uses XInput events instead of core events. We can now do things like move/resize windows using any mouse (not only Metacity's ClientPointer). We also have multiple focus working now.
What still doesn't work:
Moving/resizing multiple windows at the same time.
Window borders and titles that doesn't confuse users (correctly indicating the window's focused devices).
Minor undetected bugs?
About the menu widget: MPX changed a little bit the way it deals with passive core grabs and I didn't have time to recompile/test it until today. I'm now recompiling it and I'm gonna test after. There is a chance that gtk's menu widget will now work without any patches.
About code commiting: my patch got way bigger, and I didn't have time to completely review it. I'm not happy with some variable namings and function prototypes, and I don't want to commit the code as it is. If you want to try it, tell me so I can send you the patch with the non-reviewed code. I really wished I could have split it in smaller parts, but it wasn't possible. Sorry...
Task order this week:
1 - Correct window borders
2 - Allow multiple operations at the same time
3 - Make menu widget work for any device that clicks it (if needed!).
4 - Review/commit the patch(...).
Cheers,
Paulo.

That's nothing to be proud of. Why don't you incrementaly commit your changes ?

I know, but it wouldn't work if I just commited part of the changes. The input handling code had to be completely rewritten, and that is what the patch does.
I know it is a hell to review and apply 7800 line patches... Specially when you need to revert stuff, but I couldn't have done it in another way.

It is really sad to see these statements while such a load of work has been done.
Instead of commenting with a negative attitude you could also have tried to seek the reasons before judging.
