More thorough switch to -ncp on engine failure
The ProcRef and InputSource are now also cleared, and just to be sure there
are no surviving adapters, the child is killed when engine startup fails.

Install engines as ./exefile in XBoard

Inform user in EditPosition mode how to clear board

H.G. Muller [Tue, 13 Mar 2012 13:06:32 +0000]
Fix fall-back on -ncp mode
When the requested engine could not be started, the user still had to
wait for the feature timeout to expire before the UI was re-enabled,
and the now-useless loading action would continue. In stead we now
cancel any scheduled continuation, thaw the UI immediately, and switch
the menus and gameMode to ncp straight away.

H.G. Muller [Thu, 8 Mar 2012 10:11:03 +0000]
Limit premove cancelling to click on from square
On second thought it might be better to limit cancellation of the
premove to up-clicks on the premove from-square. (Presumably this
will be a static click, but if the down-click was elsewhere, a new move
most have been entered, which would clear the existing premove anyway.)
This allows the user to already grab another piece that he wants to move
after premove, or when premove is rejected.
H.G. Muller [Thu, 8 Mar 2012 09:02:00 +0000]
Fix clearing of premove
Any left-clicking on the board now clears an existing premove, in addition
to what it normally does.
H.G. Muller [Thu, 8 Mar 2012 08:56:51 +0000]
Fix seek-graph race condition
When a game started just after the user requested a seek graph, so that
the game start message would be received between sending 'sought' and
receiving the seek-ad list, an empty graph would pop up on the prompt,
and it was not possible to take it down, because the gameMode was no longer
IcsIdle.
This patch cancels a sought command on receiving a board of your own game
to prevent this situation. In addition the system is made more robust by
always accepting a left-click as pop-down request, even when the seek graph
cannot be up, when it is up anyway.

Keep XBoard windows attached on resize
Windows attached to bottom or right are displaced with the size increase.
Their perpendicular dimension is also scaled, to keep their edges at the same
fraction of the main window, unless they stick out. In the latter case the
fraction is clipped to 1, so that edge moves with the full size increase.
H.G. Muller [Sat, 25 Feb 2012 21:40:56 +0000]
Implement -stickyWindows in XBoard

Use more reliable X-call for getting window position
XtGetValues on XtNx, XtNy is unreliable. XGetWindowAttributes seems

One missed translation of cps->which
H.G. Muller [Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:58:41 +0000]
Undo translation of cps->which = first/second
The string in cps->which should not be translated, because it goes into
the debug file to label engine I/O, and many tools for processing
debug files (broadcasters, PGN extractors) rely on this being "first" or
"second". In all contexts where "first" and "second" need to be translated,
cps->which itself is already enclosed in _().

Delete some load-game debug printing
The debug printing in Disambiguate was no longer needed. The printing

H.G. Muller [Thu, 16 Feb 2012 13:41:43 +0000]
Move change of debug file to before game load
Loading a game from -lgf is done before TwoMachinesEvent is called,

Fix button grab for sweep selection
The piece-menu initialization limited the grab of button events to those
occurring inside the board window (presumably intended to limit them to
the piece menu, but that does not pop up in sweep-selection mode).
This is now suppressed when -pieceMenu is off, so that selection continues
outside the the board. (Which is very convenient for pieces pu close to the
edge.)
H.G. Muller [Thu, 16 Feb 2012 12:16:13 +0000]
Don't leave piece selected after piece menu
PieceMenuEvent left the just introduced piece selected, which is almost
never what one wants, as it makes it jump to the next square when selects.
Which is especially annoying if it captures the piece you wanted to grab...
H.G. Muller [Thu, 16 Feb 2012 11:57:47 +0000]

always seems to do full redraw, however?)

Put front-end support for -recentEngines in XBoard
The engines are added to the menu. Problem is still that in XBoard
startup engines are given by command, rather than selected by combobox,
so the command rather than the nickname ends up in the menu. If this is
then selected, it cannot be found in the list. To limit the damage,
Fairy-Max is now pre-installed without nickname. -recentEngines is now
configured to 4.
H.G. Muller [Sat, 11 Feb 2012 10:53:39 +0000]
Better solution to button-height problem
In stead of adapting the height of text widgets to that of buttons,
(as represented by the message widget), we now do the opposite, and
adapt the button & label heights. This is made safe by obtaining textHeight
from the fontSet's max_logical_extent, though an XExtendsFontSet() call.
Turns out the default height of text widgets is not exactly that, but
4 pixels larger for borders and margin.
The parameter XtNvertDistance is now used to align the checkboxes with
the following text widget, and their size is derived from textHeight as
well.
The XtNvertDistance is set to -1 for the lower spin button, so that it
its border coincides with that of the upper spin button. Their height is
set to textHeight/2. This makes their combined height just 1 pixel more
than that of the preceeding text widget. (Uh? 2 x tw/2 -1 > tw?), so for
other buttons we use that too (i.e. textHeight = font_extent + 5).

Derive height of text-edits in dialogs from message widget

The new -useBoardTexture option is needed in xboard.conf, as we want to

A list of 4 engines has been configured (fairymax, fruit, crafty, gnuchess),
as the Load Engine and Match Options checkboxes crash XBoard when the list
is empty. The -recentEngines option is set to 0 to make sure the code
associated with it is never executed: the code is still experimental,
and the required front-end support is only present in WinBoard anyway.
