xteddy for DEBIAN
----------------------
Beware: XTeddy is dead upstream and unfortunately the pets do not
really get the care they deserve. ;-)
Fell free to step in and train your programming skills with this
rather simple program - or jut have fun with your nice little friends. :-)
If you have problems with sawfish please read this:

> Running xteddy with sawfish, the teddy sits on top of all windows
Hmm. I have never run Sawfish myself, but this sounds more
like a window manager problem to me. Xteddy does everything
by the book, or rather, it does nothing much at all, and
should therefore be incapable of bending the rules.
Specifically, it should have no problems with the drawing
order, provided the WM behaves the way it should and does
not reparent the root window.
I don't really know anything in particular about Sawfish,
but it might be a WM that manages all its windows by proxy,
so that everything that is visible on screen is really one
single screen-sized window with pixmaps snagged from virtual
memory-mapped windows. This makes it possible to do special
effects like semi-transparent windows, but it effectively
means reparenting the root window, or rather completely hiding
it with a "synthetic" root that never gets raised or lowered,
which would mean that any application sitting directly on the
"real" root window (like Xteddy) would always be on top of
everything.
Have you tried the "-usewm" option? It should help, but
then you will have to remove the window title from Xteddy
by configurations in your WM.

Using -wm does make the teddy behave himself. Thanks for the help.
