Fix sizing problem in i3wm tiling window manager GTK
Apparently i3wm creates a window of different size than the requested one
without sending a configure-event that would allow XBoard to adapt its
board size. This is now fixed by triggering a first configure-event by
hand. The first resize had to no longer be suppressed to make this work.
(This was not needed anymore anyway, as the board size is now protected
during clock resize.) The -fixedSize option had also to be fixed.

Fix one-click moving with engine-define and wild-card pieces
In the disambiguation routine wild-card pieces were still treated as
special even when explicit moves were defined for them. In addition,
Disambiguate would try native XBoard piece motion for resolving ambiguous
moves, which is sensible for parsing SAN (which might be saved by an old
version of XBoard), but wrecks one-click moving.
H.G.Muller [Mon, 11 Apr 2016 18:44:27 +0000]
Improve resize/co-dragging GTK
The reconfigure event of the main board is not processed directly,
but sets a timeout to call the actual handler, which will be restarted
when new reconfigure events occur during the timeout period. This makes
that the (very timeconsuming) redrawing and moving of all windows
will only be done if the stream of events dries up.
Unfortunately the ReSize routine called as part of the handling needs
to be interruptable, which can cause recursive calling of the reconfigure
handler. A variable 'busy' would ignore such recursion, but at the price
of missing the interrupting event completely. The attempted fix to set
a new timeout was flawed, as delayedDragTag would not have been cleared
at that point. So we threw it out. Now 'busy' is a counter, which will
remember if there were ignored recursion attempts, and then makes these
into a harmless tail recursion, to do the resize/drag once more, based
on the latest window parameters.

The previous path seemed to cause a segfault when browsing for a folder

The Option.textValue field, which for FileName Options holds the filter,

Texture images with an -NxM suffix to their name are scaled to match

Fonts not used in the main window (i.e. other than clock, coord and

Lock board size when clock changes to two lines
First writing in the clock widget will usually increase its height
because the clock font is bigger than default. And for two-line
clocks as used with logos this will even be more pronounced. This
did cause the extra size to be taken from the board, ending up with
a smaller square size than originally requested. Which again would
cause any font changes to be saved as belonging to that smaller board
size. So starting next time with the originally requested size (as
opposed to the saved board size) would then not use those fonts!
The board size is now locked during the first write to the clocks,
or writes that change the number of lines.

Fix explosion of clocks for large board size GTK
When packing things in a hbox for getting them on the same row,
the hbox was made vertically expandable when the height of the first
element was requested > 80 (assuming it would be a text memo). At
square sizes > 81 the logos would require a height > 80, though,
and would be the first element on the logo + clocks row. This would
make them expandable, so that the window height would be equally divided
between board and logos (which again would leave preciously little for
the board). Now the expandability is reserved for TextBox Options only.

Adapt clock and message font after board-window sizing
The clock and message font are now adapted to the new -boardSize value

new size was already available (e.g. read from the settings file), it
uses that. If not it uses the hard-coded default font name. In both
cases a %d in the name is expanded based on the size-table indication
for that font. This makes the clock font adpat even without prior history.

Pick -boardSize on window width rather than square size

Make user-adjusted board size quasi-persistent (GTK)
After adjusting the board-window size the newly calculated square size
will be used to derive a new -boardSize for saving in the settings file,
by rounding it down to the nearest standard size. (But the size actually
used for display will not be rounded!) This will cause the board to pop
up with approximately the same size next time. The remembered initial
square size will also be adapted to the rounded value, so that the fonts
will start to apply to the new -boardSize as well on saving settings.
This will only be done if the old -boardSize value did not contain
commas (meaning it specified more than just square size).

Unlock width requests in board window GTK
The message field and clocks had a specified width to force them as
wide as the board irrespective of their text content. This prevented
the user to size the board window below the initial width. The size
requests are now removes after initial pop up, as they already were
for Graph widgets. This means the width of the window can now be
decreased, although we quickly run into the point where the texts
on clock or menu bar prevent further shrinking. (Which could only
be prevented by clipping the menu texts more, or decreasing the clock
font.)

Adjust window height after clock-font change
A routine LockBoardSize are added, and called to protect the board's

The test in the DisambiguateCallback to ignore duplicate moves (as

rejected anyway. But to determine if a piece has only a single move
we disambiguate with unknown to-square. So all moves but the first
of a piece would be ignored, making it always pass the only-move test.
We now test both from- and to-square, and only ignore moves that

Describe Board Options dialog in texi file
The Board Options dialog is described item by item, so that the help
clicks on it will work.
H.G.Muller [Wed, 23 Mar 2016 21:54:27 +0000]
Reorganize texi file
For the help clicks to work universaly, it is necessary that all dialog
items are described separately, with headers exactly equal to the label
they have in the dialog. This is a first step in that direction.

Allow help-clicks on Label Options with linefeeds
Some of the LabelOptions in dialogs do have linefeeds. (In particular,
those in the Load Options dialog.) So we allow help clicks on them,
but add linefeed with the termination characters. Except that a leading
linefeed will be clipped off.

Make sizing more robust (GTK)
On sizing we now do not immediately replace the buffer canvas, but set
a flag in the Graph Option to indicate the canvas is invalid. Instead
of taking the canvas handle from a global variable (csBoardWindow) we
now obtain it in every drawing call from a function, which first tests
if the canvas is still valid. If it is not, we replace it by one of
the size specified in the Option (which was obtained from the window
size the moment the flag was set).
The GraphExpose requests now bypass the general GraphEventProc, by
calling the drawing of the exposed area (which was relocated to a
separate function) directly. This avoids the overhead of checking for
resizing through requesting the window geometry.

Improve behavior of secondary board on sizing main window
Resizing the main window now immediately orders corresponding resizing
of the secondary board window, plus an immediate redraw, rather than
waiting for a move to occur on that board.

Prevent FICS bell character fro printing in ICS Console XB
FICS sends bell characters (ascii 7) at the start of many messages.
We now strip a leading bell off the message before appending it to
the text memo of the ICS Console, and ignore the message altogether
if it was just bell + linefeed (to prevent each move of an observed
game adding an empty line).

Fix erasing and exposing of arrow on secondary board
For the second board the damage flags set for exposing a freshly drawn
arrow are left for the next draw to erase that arrow again.

Pop up warning when engine manual is not available
Help clicks on the engine dialog pop up a warning when the manual is
not found. It seems useful to alert the user that this info has to
come from the manual of the engine' rather than XBoard's.

Add -men option for changing piece moves
A volatile string option -men allows the user to change the moves of
the pieces from the command line similar to what the VariantMen tag
does from a PGN file. Using the New Variant dialog resets the option.
H.G.Muller [Tue, 22 Mar 2016 13:56:10 +0000]
Add -fen option
A volatile string option -fen can now be used to set the initial position
of the initial variant through the command line, removing the need to
prepare a position file for this. Otherwise the effect should be the same
as when using -lpf: New games will be started from the specifoed positon
until the New Variant dialog is used. The position is 'auto-sizing', i.e.
the FEN is used to set the board geometry as well.

Make startup announcement self-disappearing
The startup message is now configurable through an option -startupMessage,
and the master config file sets this to announce the help clicks.
The message can contain multiple lines. The display of lines that are a
sub-string of the option -messageSuppress is suppressed, however.
Using a help-click sets this latter option to the help-click announcement,
so that people who have used help clicks won't see this message anymoe.
Displaying the startup message is now only considered on board draws
that ordered a full repaint.

Forget piece redefinitions before loading game
The effect of a VariantMen tag in a previous game of the same file
was also applied to later games that did not have such a tag.

Fix replay of multi-leg move
Replaying multi-leg moves made the moving piece reappear on the
