I might be able to find some?

Thanks.

	Hi there !


	I'm trying to receive events while keeping the shift+left button
down. I want to continue receiving those events while I'm moving the
mouse around (with the shift+left button still down ...).

	So far I've tried using :

	Shift<Btn1Down>,<Btn1Motion> -> I get the first event but nothing
after ....

	Shift<Btn1Motion> doesn't seem to work -> I get a code dumped
in BindActions :(


Is there a way to do it ?
Or what I'm doing wrong ?
Did I miss something ?

Any hints are welcome :)

Thanx in advance !!

If you are able to make the "sourcing" machine an HP workstation
there is a software application available from HP called "Shared X"
which will do all of the things you describe.

All three will work equally well as window managers. As long as you run 
olwm without xnews. It is the xnews that uses all the memory and performance, 
NOT olwm. Actually you should try olvwm. olvwm is what we use with
PCs and Hummingbird exceed.We  use olwm on Concurrent 7000s
without xnews and it works just as fast as any other window manager.

Howdy ladies and gentlemen!

	I've got a demo coming up where I'd like to show off an
X-based application to several users.  I don't want them having to
hover over my shoulder, and I don't have a UNIX/X/??? projection
system. Soooooooooooo . . . . .

	I was wondering if anyone out here in net land knows of
a way I can set up multiple DISPLAYs for an X session?  I know
that vanilla X cannot do this . . .but would someone happen to
know of an application that would work?

	I'd like to be able to sit at my 'master' terminal, open
up the application, and have each user at his/her 'slave' terminal
see what I'm doing.

	Another issue that I'd be interested in is the locking
of the 'slave' terminal keyboards so that my application is in
a sort of 'read only' mode for the users.

Thanks in advance for any info!!

#I am practicing Xt with Athena widgets with the examples from

#I learn that Digital distributes a different Xt (Maybe also Xlib) from MIT X's.
#How can I resolve this problem? I do like to write some code based on the

#
#
#Any suggestions and comments from experienced Xt and DECstation users is

I believe the current version of X that resides with 4.2 doesn't contain
the typedef for XtPointer.  Check the file /usr/include/Intrinsic.h for
the following line:

	#define	XtSpecificationRelease 4

If that is missing (and I suspect it is) you are using X11R3 base software
which doesn't have it defined.

Mach386, as you might have guessed, is Mach for the 386.  Specifically,
it's the Mach 2.5 microkernel with the BSD UNIX server on top.
Unfortunately, to even get a copy of Mach386 to play with, your
university needs a copy of the BSD/AT&T source code license.

I was attempting to get a site license for the University of Delaware
for Mach386 ... until, that is, I discovered Linux.  ;)

I think the attempt to get Mach is still tied up in red tape, actually.

DESQview/X does exactly that. You need:

	386+ PC with 4MB+ memory
	hard disk
	network card
	network transport software like FTP's PC/TCP
	DVX
	DVX network manager

You can RSH/REXEC into this just like a "real system". Even run Windows 3.x
software remotely (not real fast, but ok).

You can even use the machine for something else at the same time ...

True, but mwm does, and mwm has some resource-controlled options which

Greetings!

We have a Motif (r1.1.4 with Open Windows v3 Xt/Xlib libraries) application
where the "Save Message As" menu entry is accelerated to be F12
using the following:

*pulldown256*menuButton258.accelerator: <Key>F12:
*pulldown256*menuButton258.acceleratorText: F12

But using this keyboard (Sun 386i, Xsun from X11R5 pl17, Sun type 4 kbd)
the key labeled F12 does not work.  Instead, the one marked L2/Again
does the trick.  It also fails the same way with Sun type 4 keyboard
driven by the Open Windows v3 server.

xev tells me the keysym is the same for both keys, but that
the keycode is different.  (10 for L2 and 18 for F12).

What to do...?  What to do...?

I've just read through chapter 9 of the Xlib Programming Manual (one
which matches with X11R3, does the newer one have a better explanation?).
I understand it better, but if XKeysymToString() is returning the
same for each I don't understand why Motif/Xt would not act the same
for each.  Or in Xt accelerator processing, does it only use the first
keycode found with a particular keysym?  Should I look in the Xt manual
to see what it says there??

>X11R5, patch level 17, Type1 software patch 1.

There seems to be a problem in gcc when compiling the Type 1 renderer.
I compile the whole server with gcc, except the Type 1 renderer directory
which I do with the Sun C compiler.  I've yet to track down what actually
fails so I can generate a gcc bug report.

  Is it possible to draw into a window's border?  If so how?

  Thanks,

I'm currently encountering a problem that I'm guessing is caused by 
XtMainLoop().  First of all, does XtMainLoop() look for events based
on the order in which things have "registered" to be monitored by it?
Let me give you an example.

I have a dialog that I'm wanting to popup.  I've also used XtAppAddInput()
to monitor a socket (this is done way before the dialog is requested to be
popped up).  What ends up happening is that there is a case where my appli-
cation gets a burst of data on the socket.  These all seem to be handled
BEFORE the dialog ever gets popped up -- even though I called XtPopupDialog()
BEFORE the burst begins.

Is this due to the fact that XtAddAppInput() has some entry in some array
that XtMainLoop() looks at so that it sees the socket-related events for it 
BEFORE it ever processes any event(s) for the dialog?  If this is the case, 
how can I prioritize the order in which things get processed?

What I want to have happen is that as soon as the function, that made the 
call to XtPopupDialog(), returns, I want to see my dialog on the screen
(not just a box, but all of the subwidgets within it).  Then as each block
of data comes on the socket, I want to update the contents of the dialog. 

I tried using XFlush(), but that doesn't seem to change a thing, which is
what led me to believe that XtMainLoop() might just be doing a top-down
search for events and, hence, always handling something from the socket
before handling stuff for the dialog.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

P.S. This is with X11R4, in case that helps.
