As far as changes from version 5.2 to version 5.2.1 go, they are mostly a few
aesthetic and look-and-feel hacks and a couple of bug fixes.

I would really like input as to how you like the changes I made.

    MINOR NEW FEATURE (I can't say it's a big deal)
    -----------------------------------------------
        Natural Autopan Behavior
        
            By default, when autopanning, the pointer is warped by only
            (AutoPanBorderWidth + AutoPanExtraWarp) pixels on the real
            screen.  With this option turned on, the pointer is warped by as
            many pixels as the screen is scrolled, or by the above number of
            pixels, whichever is greater.  Thus, the pointer will not
            actually move very much (only by AutoPanExtraWarp) in relation to
            the virtual desktop.  This works very well on faster X terminals,
            although I can't say the same thing for slower ones (but setting
            AutoPanWarpWithRespectToRealScreen may do a good job).
            
    NEW VARIABLES to play around with
    ---------------------------------
        AutoPanBorderWidth <pixels>
        AutoPanExtraWarp <pixels>
        AutoPanWarpWithRespectToRealScreen <N%>
        EnhancedExecResources
        LessRandomZoomZoom
        NaturalAutopanBehavior
            # synonymous with ``AutoPanWarpWithRespectToRealScreen 100''
        PrettyZoom
        RealScreenBorderWidth <pixels>
        RightHandSidePulldownMenus

    OTHER HACKS AND BUG FIXES
    -------------------------
        Supports negative and `0,0' door geometries. [ bug fix ]

CHANGES BY SOURCE FILE
======================

Any lines, code or data structures in the code denoted by "/* DSE */" are
changes I made.

    desktop.c:
    ----------
        Supports the RealScreenBorderWidth variable now.

        Added dx,dy parameters to SetRealScreenInternal and PanRealScreen so
        that they pass information on how much to warp the mouse pointer,
        to support my AutoPanWarpWithRespectToRealScreen hack.

    desktop.h:
    ----------
        Define AP_SIZE to Scr->AutoPanBorderWidth instead of just 5.

    doors.c
    -------
        Supports negative door geometries now (like "120x120-0-0").
        [ bug fix ]

        Also fixes bug that wouldn't allow "+0+0" to be a valid door
        position. [ bug fix ]

    events.c
    --------
        In HandleEnterNotify(), initial setting of xwarp and ywarp uses
        AutopanExtraWarp instead of just 2.

    menus.c
    -------
        The RightHandSidePulldownMenus, EnhancedExecResources, and PrettyZoom
        hacks are done here.

    parse.c, screen.h
    -----------------
        Of course, the new variables were inserted here.

    util.c
    ------
        The LessRandomZoomZoom hack was done here.

DISCLAIMER: I am not the official maintainer or central programmer of vtwm,
but there isn't one anyway; I just made a few fixes, played with the code to
make it a little bit more `configurable' in certain areas, and decided to see
what *you* think of the changes I made.  I also don't know much about X
programming, but the changes I made to vtwm haven't caused any major damage
so far.
