Please try remember to add a ChangeLog entry for *every* patch you
write.  These entries save me a lot of time.  The more complete
the ChangeLog is the better.  Just to give you an idea how
valuable it is, here is an example of what happened yesterday:

 - Read the mail, found something about a bug report which was
   easy to try out.
   [1 Minute]
 - Tried it out, but did not happen.  Discovered another problem.
   [3 Minutes]
 - Played with the newly found problem.
   [3 Minutes]
 - Checked the ChangeLog if there was something about this
   problem but found nothing.
   [1 Minute]
 - Tried to debug this problem.
   [20 Minutes]
 - Finished building fvwm and restarted - problem went away.
   [1 Minute]
 - Checked the ChangeLog again - still not there.
   [1 Minute]
 - Checked cvs logs and found the fix for the problem there.
   [5 Minutes]

So, I could have saved about 25 of the 35 minutes I spent on the
problem.

Bye

Dominik ^_^  ^_^
