Fixed a bug with foreground/background color change pointed out by
Thomas <arnognul@tiscali.se>.
Also added support for all the other OSC color change sequences (at
least those for the colors that Eterm uses). The sequences are of
the form "\e];n;color[;color[...]]\a", where n is between 10 and 19.
You can specify up to (20 - n) semicolon-separated colors representing
the following attributes in order: foreground, background, cursor,
mouse pointer, mouse pointer background (*), Tek foreground (*), Tek
background (*), highlight color (*), bold color, and underline color.
Attributes marked with a (*) are ignored by Eterm and may be left
empty, but their trailing semicolons must be present for xterm
compatibility.
For example, to set a white foreground, black background, yellow text
cursor, green mouse cursor, #ffaa00 for bold, and cyan for underline,
you could use either of the following:
echo -e "\e]10;white;black;yellow;green;;;;;#ffaa00;cyan\007"
or
echo -e "\e]10;white\007"
echo -e "\e]11;black\007"
echo -e "\e]12;yellow\007"
echo -e "\e]13;green\007"
echo -e "\e]18;#ffaa00\007"
echo -e "\e]19;cyan\007"
Note that the setting of bold and underline colors using 18 and 19 are
Eterm extensions.

Allow users to customize the Escreen current/active display colors.
Don't display the Escreen button if there's no Escreen menu defined.

There is now a new mechanism for dealing with the background image
collection, including a new update script. Please read the newly-
rewritten bg/README.backgrounds for details.
Also, I'm trying to flesh out the Contributors list in that file, but
my memory isn't cooperating. So if you contributed one of the
backgrounds, or know someone who did, please let me know.

Two more patches from Marius Gedminas <mgedmin@takas.lt>. The first
one allows for customization of the message displayed when Eterm goes
into pause mode. There are actually two; one goes in the titlebar,
and the other is displayed in the text window.
His second patch makes Eterm's behavior a little smarter when it
resizes itself. It tries to figure out which quadrant of the screen
it's on and resizes in the most appropriate direction. (For example,
Ctrl-GreaterThan on an Eterm in the lower right corner will cause the
upper left corner of the Eterm to move; the lower right corner will
stay put.)
Thanks again to Marius for saving me time by sending patches. :-)

Tint by number or color, and shade by percentage, are now available
via the "\e]6;2;" escape sequence. For example, "\e]6;2;shade;10\a"
will shade the background by 10%. "\e]6;2;tint;lightblue\a" will give
the background a light blue tint. "\e]6;2;shade;sa;30\a" will give a
30% shade to the scrollbar anchor.

Added a patch from Kimball Thurston <kimball@sgrail.com> for XIM. I
also added support for two new escape sequences at the request of
Cale Gibbard <gibbard@bfree.on.ca>. "\e]Pnrrggbb" can now be used
to modify the color palette at runtime, and "\e]R" will restore the
defaults. These are compatible with the Linux console.
SVN revision: 2323
Added a new --pipe-name option to allow Eterm to read from a console
device/tty/pipe other than /dev/console. This is useful for folks on
Debian, where "console" messages actually go to the /dev/xconsole
named pipe rather than to /dev/tty0.

This is the first public availability of the work thus far on Eterm
0.9.1. There's quite a bit of new stuff here.
* Added scrollbar thumb support.
* Completely redid the terminfo/termcap stuff. The terminfo file is
now compiled (by tic) and installed by default (unless you specify
--without-terminfo). The config files still say xterm, though,
because some programs (like SLang and GNU mc) use the silly algorithm
of "Is $TERM set to xterm?" to detect mouse reporting support in a
terminal. =P But if you don't ever use xterm, you can use Eterm's
termcap and just name it "xterm" instead. Thanks to Marius Gedminas
<mgedmin@takas.lt> for his patch that started this whole revamp.
* Added the kEsetroot script for KDE users from Dax Games
<dgames@isoc.net>.
* You can now configure the Home and End emulation via --with-home=
and --with-end= options to configure. The --with-terminfo option is
also new, and --enable-xim is now the default.
* Added a new image state, disabled, for when Eterm loses focus. This
is supported by all widgets (well, all those that could possibly be
on screen when Eterm lost focus), even the background image. So you
could actually have all your images darken on focus out and restore
to normal on focus in.
* Widget colors formerly dealt with as colors (menu text color,
scrollbar color, etc.) are now handled by the imageclasses. Each
image state can have a foreground and background color defined. The
current exception is the background image; I hope to add that later.
The foreground is the text color and the background is the object
color (for solid color mode). So menu text color is set by the menu
imageclass. And again, for unfocused colors, use the disabled state
of the imageclass.
* Proportionally-spaced fonts are now handled much better. They are
still forced into evenly-spaced columns (it's a terminal for crying
out loud!) but at least you don't end up with Eterm's wider than your
screen. :-)
* Home on refresh is gone, as is home on echo. It's now much simpler.
There are two options: home on output, and home on input, the former
being a combination of echo and refresh. Also, keypresses that don't
necessarily have corresonding output can trigger a home on input,
like Ctrl-End or whatever...ones that don't have special meaning.
Credit to Darren Stuart Embry <dse@louisville.edu> for pointing out
this issue and the one with "m-" in font names.
* I finally got around to re-merging the new parser stuff from my
work on the Not Game. Closed up some old potential behavior quirks
with theme parsing.
* Added a new escape sequence to fork-and-exec a program. Also added
a scrollback search capability to highlight all occurances of a string
in your scrollback buffer. Use the new "Etsearch" utility to access
it. "Etsearch string" to search for a string, then "Etsearch" by
itself to reset the highlighting.
* And of course, the biggie. Eterm now supports a completely-
customizeable buttonbar. Not a menubar, a buttonbar. It can have an
arbitrary number of buttons, and each button can perform an action,
just like a menuitem. So a button could bring up a menu (like a
menubar) or launch a program (like a launchbar) or perform an
operation (like a toolbar). Each button can have an icon, text, or
both. And you can have buttons left- or right-justified in the
buttonbar. You will eventually be able to have an arbitrary number
of buttonbars, but I'm still working on that.
As with any change this big, things could very easily be broken. So
beware. :-) I have tested this myself, and everything seems to work,
but I can't test every possibility. Let me know if you find anything
that's broken, and enjoy!

I fixed the popup scrollbar bug with transparency, but I fixed lots
more than that. I removed a lot of duplicate event handling, lots of
duplicate redraws, and lots of unnecessary transparency updates. In
doing so, I fixed the latency problem people had been reporting with
several shaded/tinted transparent Eterms while changing desktops. I
also threw solid color transparency support in the mix while I was at
it. All in all, you should notice significant speedups in transparent
Eterms.

Lots of cleanups here, including a couple fixes for bugs noticed by
Tom Gilbert <gilbertt@tomgilbert.freeserve.co.uk> and Martin Tyler
<martin@boo.org>. Also removed the requirement of glibc 2.1 for using
SVR4-style pty's (/dev/pts/*) under Linux.
SVN revision: 798
Shaved off around 100 KB of memory usage per Eterm by moving more
code into the shared library, removing lots of unneeded variables, and
fixing some small leaks here and there.
SVN revision: 710
Added support for xterm's property change escape sequence as requested
by Greg Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>, the originator of the
sequence.
