Oh yes. This patch *has* a long history (at least since PR#977).

Below is a list of small things which do not work very well. I don't like
the GUI very much - but that's another issue.

GTK1 tested only.

--------------------------------------

Menue items available but without function: Server Opt *, Disconnect from game

After 'disconnect' in a running game you have a stale (unused, unaccessible)
civserver process.

When you 'start new game' again, there is no help at all.

Server Opts initial: wtowerevision shows no numbers

For 'save', the savegame name generation isn't used.

'load' doesn't try to append '.gz' to filename

reporting to the metaserver blocks the client

----------------------

chris@max:~/freeciv/games> LANG= civclient -P none -a        
2: Connection to server refused. Please start the server.

-> Start new game

1: Unexpected buffers in try_to_connect()
civclient: clinet.c:334: input_from_server: Assertion `fd ==
aconnection.sock' failed.
Abgebrochen (core dumped)

and gives stale civserver

------------------------------

chris@max:~/freeciv/games> LANG= civclient -P none -t trident

-> type in 'novice' for AI level, start game

civclient: connectdlg.c:356: get_aiskill_setting: Assertion `0' failed.
Abgebrochen (core dumped)

--------------------

You can 'Join network game' and accidentally connect to a stale civserver.
You then can only start the game by typing /start.
