This is a non urgent patch for Wafe 0.96. The Intrinsics manually states, that in order to achieve maximum performance on manageChild/unmanageChild operations, an application should use (un)manageChildren instead, where a geometry manager can handle all request simutaniously. Wafe 0.96 does for each specified widget in (un)manageChild commands a separate (un)manage call. i hate to come out with a patch so early after the annoucement of 0.96, but however, here it comes. in ftp.wu-wien.ac.at:pub/src/X11/wafe/wafe-0.96.p1.tar.gz is a modification for wafe 0.96 that allows simultanious (un)manageChild calls. However, there is a restriction, that all widgets specified as arguments must have the SAME PARENT widget. Because of this, the modification is not backward compatible. The older version did not have this limitation. The update contains a modified version of wafedesign as well, which was affected by this change. To apply this patch, "cd" to the wafe 0.96 directory, expand the tar file, and do a "make". -gustaf
