The phase-β sed pass renamed every C 'Window' identifier to
WNativeWindow. That correctly updated typedef uses but also rewrote
the string 'Window Maker', UI labels like 'Window Manager', 'Window
Placement', 'Window Title', 'Window List', 'Window System session',
etc., plus a number of comments referring to 'Window' as English.
Fixed all of those. The C type uses (WNativeWindow rootWin, etc.)
remain unchanged — only English-language occurrences are reverted.
Verified that wmaker now reports 'Window Maker 0.96.0' again and
build is clean across WINGs/, src/, WPrefs.app/.
Sed pass restricted to files outside src/backend/x11 and outside
*_x11.c — i.e. all code that should not depend on X11 typedefs.
Window → WNativeWindow (existing typedef in WMEvent.h)
Atom → WMNativeAtom
Pixmap → WMNativePixmap
Cursor → WMNativeCursor
Drawable → WMDrawable (existing typedef)
KeySym → WMNativeKeysym
Colormap → WMNativeColormap
X11 backend files keep using the original Xlib type names because
they make Xlib API calls that take those types. All typedefs are
ultimately 'unsigned long' so values pass through opaquely between
shared code and the backend.
Public WINGs API affected: WMSelectionCallback, WMSelectionProcs,
and a handful of widget signatures that took Atom/Window arguments
now take WMNativeAtom/WNativeWindow. Source-compatible at the
binary level; consumers must rebuild.
Time and XID typedefs left for a follow-up — both are heavily used
in field/variable names that need careful auditing. Display* and
GC stay in W_Screen for now; phase δ moves them into an X11-only
sub-struct.
Remove every is_wayland / !is_wayland guard from WM policy files.
All backend-specific logic now lives exclusively in the backends:
- main.c: display_post_open vtable slot handles fatal check, visual ID,
display name, and multiHead parsing (X11) or no-ops (Wayland)
- event.c: EventLoop() unconditionally calls event_loop_run(); the X11
backend's implementation contains the WMNextEvent+inotify loop
- screen.c: screen_init_display vtable slot handles RContext/WMScreen/
color creation (each backend owns its full init path)
- monitor.c: show_crash_dialog vtable slot (X11 shows panel, Wayland
returns abort)
- startup.c: InitializeSwitchMenu called unconditionally (it's
backend-agnostic); defaults polling timer no longer guarded
- shutdown.c: wScreenSaveState called unconditionally
- window.c: client_reparent called unconditionally (Wayland no-ops);
dead frameless-window code removed
Policy code is now completely backend-agnostic. The only references to
is_wayland are the vtable field definitions in the two backend files.
