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.
Guard all frame->core and frame->workspace dereferences in placement.c
against NULL frame pointers (Wayland windows have no WFrameWindow):
- calcSumOfCoveredAreas: skip windows without frame (no stacking level
or geometry available via frame; Wayland window client geometry is
tracked separately in wwin->client.* and wwin->frame_x/y).
- window_overlaps: add early-return path for frameless windows that uses
wwin->client.{width,height} and wwin->frame_x/y for the overlap test,
bypassing the frame->core stacking level check.
- getPlaceOrigin (icon-placement helper): guard frame->workspace reads
for WCLASS_MINIWINDOW and WCLASS_WINDOW parent types using logical-OR
with the wwin->workspace fallback.
Together these prevent NULL dereferences when smart/auto/cascade
placement iterates the managed-window list and encounters Wayland
windows alongside X11 windows.
