If this is a FAQ then I am sorry but I have had no luck with this.
I work on a sparc and use windows and I want to change the root menu 
rather customize it to what I want. I read though the manual and all it
say is that I should have a .olwmmenu file in home directory which contains
the options i want to have. I have tried this.. but it doesnt work..
any ideas?? Thanks for any help you might be able to give me.. thanks..

Hello folks, I've been hearing a lot about the X Journal recently and I'm

So how do I get hold of it in the UK.

Sudhanshu,

If you have an HP workstation (Series 300, 400, 700 or X-terminal) you
can buy HP SharedX, which is a supported product.  Briefly, here's a list
of features:

* No modification to existing applications (no re-linking etc)
* Only the sending machine needs SharedX (receivers do not need to be HP)
* You can share and unshare at any time, even after the application has
  been started.

* You can share multiple windows to mulitiple receivers at the same time.
* HP SharedX does translations between differing types of displays, font
  matching, color ramping, etc.
* The receivers can also input to the shared windows, at the discretion of 
  the sender.

* All sibling windows, pull-down menus, etc work as expected.
* There is a Motif user interface.
* Telepointers can be added to any window.
* Address books and aliases are built in.
* And more...

I humbly suggest, from experience, that other sharing utilities will not
meet your expectations, and will cost you much more in time and effort.

If you're interested, you can contact me for more info, or your local HP
Sales office.  A single user license is only $500.  $200 for media and
manuals.

If you're certain the cursor is one of the standard font cursors (the
ones created with XCreateFontCursor, with XC_ names), then you can just
render the relevant character from the font called "cursor" into a
bitmap and read it back with XGetImage.  (The XC_ define is the index
of the picture; add one to it to get the index of the mask.  Both are
simply glyphs in the font.)

You *must* know how the cursor was created.  There are at least three
ways to create cursors, one of which allows the client to use arbitrary
bitmaps.  There is no way to discover what a cursor looks like after
the fact; you must go back and work out what it should look like, given
how it was created.  (Standard font cursors make this easy.)

If an application would simply exit when asked to delete its window,
and it has no requirement for user interaction during its cleanup
operations, if any, I see no reason why it should bother participating
in WM_DELETE_WINDOW.  (I suspect this is a fairly large class of
applications.)  Do you see any such reason?

Someone else already gave the answer I was going to give, about using
higher-level toolkits and application builders.  I wrote my first X client
using XView a few weeks ago; it uses about 120 lines to put up about a
half-dozen menus (some of which are hierarchical) and a couple of text
input panels, and uses *no* Xlib calls.

That's the wrong fix.  Instead, use a real editor, one that knows how
to deal with lines longer than one screen line.  It sounds as though
textedit actually broke the line into two lines in the file, instead of
just displaying one file line as two screen lines.

It probably is.  The problem is, I feel sure, that your editor has
actually broken that long line into two lines.  Use a sane editor like
vi or even ed to join those two lines back together and see if it
doesn't work for you then.

Success!  Through the help of Jeremy Lawrence (jeremy@snrc.uow.edu.au), I've
been able to track down the source of the elusive "XV crashes my OpenWindows
server" bug.

For those of you unacquainted with the problem, suffice it to say that if
you ran XV-2.21 on an 8-bit OpenWindows server, put up an image in the
root window, and then quit XV (leaving the image in the root), the server
would eventually blow up.  As well it should.  I'm surprised this only 
happened to OpenWindows users.

Anyhow, I've put the patch up on export.lcs.mit.edu and ftp.cis.upenn.edu
(the official XV distribution sites), and given how trivial the patch is,
I'll just include it at the end of this message.

If you know of any other anon ftp sites that are distributing XV-2.21, 
*please* do me a favor and put this patch up on them, as well.

Thanks  -  as always, we apologize for the inconvenience.
