I'm running into trouble periodically with the use of the Wcl 2.0 resource
"wcAfterChildren".

For example, I am creating a widget tree that includes the OSF/Motif MainMenu
widget with a menubar. I want to set the menubar's "menuHelpWidget" to put a
help button on the far right side. The Wcl lines are:

*menuBar.wcConstructor:		XmCreateMenuBar
*menuBar.wcPopups:		fileMenu,editMenu,utilMenu
*menuBar.wcChildren:		file,edit,util,help
*menuBar.wcAfterChildren:	WcSetValue(this.menuHelpWidget:this.help)

Every once in a while, the wcAfterChildren line does not seem to work and
the help button does not show up on the far right side. It gets aligned
next to the other buttons. (Its not because the width of the menubar is
smaller.)

I am using Wcl 2.02, X11R4, Motif 1.1 on an SGI running Irix 4.x.

Am I alone with this problem?

(1) In OpenWindows the default icon for xterms and other standard X
applications is a diamond shape when the application doesn't specify an
icon. Is there anyway I can change the default icon, or better still
get rid of it altogether leaving just the title in a small box (as in
twm) ? I tend to run a lot of xterm's and the diamonds tend to clutter
my screen - there doesn't seem a lot of point in having them if they
are all identical.

(2) Is there an OpenWindows version of xterm? What I mean by this is with textedit
style scroll bars, etc. cmdtool isn't good enough because I want the tcsh to work
as well as scrollbars, and besides it doesn't do Tektronix emulation. Ideally
it would be better and emulate vt200/Graphon as vt100/Tektronix is a bit tacky.
Surely someone out there must have done this it can't be too hard.

(3) How on a sun-4 keyboard can I set it up so that pressing
shift-uparrow in an xterm gives me the proper vt 100 sequence for this
key, while unshifted it works normally.

I've tried

    ~Shift<Key>KP_9:          string(0x1b) string("Ox") \n\

But it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks,

Karl.

OK, so you're in charge of what goes in your /usr/bin/X11 directory.
Beyond the standard "core" distribution, what are your essential
X programs, without which a X site just isn't hip?

Here's a list that I've just thrown together...  

(Most of these programs are available by anonymous ftp from export.lcs.mit.edu.)

Major importance:
    xlogout     (A simple Quit button, used at the bottom of my .xinitrc.)
    xarchie	(Couldn't live without it.  Use it to find these programs.)
    xdvi	(First major reason for using a colour machine.)
    idraw	(Worth the effort of finding a C++ compiler.)
    ghostscript (Means I don't have to use openwin.)
    ghostview	(Makes ghostscript twice as useful.)
    ups		(Don't debug without it!)
    ten		(Editor with similar heritage to ups.)

Other Big Ones:
    ppmplus	(Not really an X program, but essential for xwd files.)
    xfig	(I prefer idraw personally.)
    tvtwm	(Waiting for the new version...)
    olvwm	(Seems some people like Open Look!)

Cool programs:
    xlock	(With locking turned off, as some say it's anti-social.)
    xv		(Simply awesome.)
    xloadimage	(Simpler than xv, also can open diff. formats, e.g. urt.)
    dclock	(Xt version has tons off neat features.)
    dclock	(Interviews version looks nicer.)
    xmeter	(Keeps me up to date with what going down.)
    xinfo	(Maybe (l)emacs 19 will obsolete this.)

Neat hacks:
    xfishtank	(Running with fish borrowed from After Dark.)
    xantfarm	(Not good for your eyes though.)
    xneko	(Cute.)
    xphoon	(Jef Poskanzer seems to appear a few times in this list.)
    Xaw3d	(Gives a new lease of life to the Athena Widgets.)

The small essentials:
    pixmap	(For colour icons.)
    xmessage	(A million and one uses.)
    xselection	(Just as many.)
    xse		(The possibilities are endless.)
    xdu		(Save some disk space, the interactive way.)

Local hacks:
    runx	(Local version of "startx" script.)
    rx		(Local version of "xon" program - based on old gwm script.)

I'm looking for a program or some reference for determining Xstones for
a new server.

I'm also interested in what particular operations the Xstones benchmark
uses heavily in determining it's number.  (i.e. what do we optimize
most to get the highest Xstones?  lines?  blits?  everything?)

Major code 45 is OpenFont.  (Your Xlib is set up wrong, or this would
be printed in the parentheses.)  A BadName error from an OpenFont
request indicates that the font does not exist.  Most likely xmaple is
asking the server for a font that just isn't there.  If the xmaple
documentation doesn't say what fonts it requires, you could run it
under control of a protocol spy like xscope and see what it's asking
for.

This is rather odd, though, as BadName errors from OpenFont requests
are normally caught by Xlib and passed back through the procedural
interface.  Your Xlib must be doing something very peculiar, or else
xmaple is being ill-behaved and doing something behind Xlib's back.

It looks like either the linking went astray or you misconfigured it
somehow (did you just set ProjectRoot?).  Read the man page on ld and
discover the magic of LPATH.  LPATH is LD_LIBRARY_PATH on the SPARC and
LIBPATH on the RS/6000.

I've just built XCONQ version 5.5 (5/2/92) on our network of Sun3s,
running Sunos 4.1.1 and OpenWindows 2.0.  The code compiled without
problems, it runs, and my son is delighted.

EXCEPT ... when the help window pops up at the `?' command, we cannot
get it to accept input; hence we cannot see the subsequent help
screens.  The CHANGES file in the distribution notes:

   Fixed the OpenWindows input focus problem (ICCCM non-compliance on our
   part).

Is there a fix to get the help window to read keystrokes under
OpenWindows?

Thanks in advance for suggestions or patches by email.

Actually I don't think XView is all that buggy compared with some of the other
X toolkits out there.  Try using Motif 1.1 some day :-(
It's good that Sun is so open about the bug lists.

I use my text retrieval system to make an index of the bug lists and
man pages when I'm doing XView work.

I used the following flags and succesfully compiled XPaint with gcc--
however, when I run xpaint (X11r4;Motif 1.1.2, Sparcstation 2) it 
dumps core.  Oh well,...

CFLAGS = -g -ansi -fno-builtin -mfpu -mno-epilogue -Dsparc  

The last flag is a little devious.  math.h includes floatingpoint.h includes ieeefp.h 
which defines an enum with the sparc flag.

 I have an Athena's asciiTextWidget, which has just one 
line text. My problem is that I want to scroll the widget 
without scrollbar.
 
If I set "scrollNever" and then type more 
characters than widget's width allows, the widget
won't scroll along so that I could see what I am typing.

If I set "scrollWhenNeeded" or "scrollAlways" then the
text will scroll OK, but I can't see much
more than the scrollbar.

So is there a way to

 (I)  Set the asciiTextWidget's scrollbar's width to zero,

 (II)  make scrollbar invisible,

 (III)  some other easy way to resolve the problem

  I don't want to make asciiTextWidget any bigger by adding 
widget's height for some unneccessary scrollbar.

You can try tgif.  It's based on Xlib.  It can also import PostScript
files (can't edit them, just annotate them).

You can get tgif through anonymous ftp from the /contrib directory on
export.lcs.mit.edu.  Just get all the /contrib/tgif-2.12* files.
The .Z extension means that the file is compressed (you need to run
'uncompress'), and .tar extension means that the file is tared (you
need to run 'tar xvf tgif-2.12-p7.tar'), and the files with the word
'patch' in it are patch files (you need to run
'patch -p -N < tgif-2.12-patch8' and so on).

I modified the R4 cfb to run on a 2-bit display; you may or may not
find the patches useful.  If you want 'em, they're up for ftp from
larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu (132.206.1.1) in X/XNeXT (get the distribution;
it has more than the patches you want, but not a whole lot more, and I

Unless they've cleaned it up a lot since R4, you cannot change the
depth just by tweaking cfbmskbits.h.  Check out the NeXT patches....

This has been asked many times and is in the FAQ:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: 129)  Why doesn't GXxor produce mathematically-correct color values?

        When using GXxor you may expect that drawing with a value of black on a
background of black, for example, should produce white. However, the drawing
operation does not work on RGB values but on colormap indices. The color that
the resulting colormap index actually points to is undefined and visually
random unless you have actually filled it in yourself. [On many X servers Black
and White often 0/1 or 1/0; programs taking advantage of this mathematical
coincidence will break.]
        If you want to be combining colors with GXxor, then you should be 
allocating a number of your own color cells and filling them with your chosen
pre-computed values.
        If you want to use GXxor simply to switch between two colors, then you 
can take the shortcut of setting the background color in the GC to 0 and the
foreground color to a value such that when it draws over red, say, the result 
is blue, and when it draws over blue the result is red. This foreground value 
is itself the XOR of the colormap indices of red and blue.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any good X-based software testing tools, 
particularly for testing a user interface under X.  I have coverage
analysis software, etc, but what I need is something akin to Dr. Taylor's
Test in DOS or Virtual User for the Mac.  Anything which will rigorously
test a UI while recording events and comparing screen snapshots is
exactly what I'm looking for.  I need it to be able to handle huge amounts
of input testing as well.  Also if the tools are platform-specific I need it
to run on an RS/6000 running AIX.

Please reply via e-mail to this address or to howardb@premenos.sf.ca.us.
