Subject: Help: resetting the tektronix xp27 TekXpress server
Date: 29 Jul 92 10:24:24 GMT
Organization: University of Washington, Seattle


We are using Tektronix Xp27 TekXpress to login remotely via telnet sessions to
a Sun Sparc 4.1.1 file server. Once logged-in, we run a small c-shell script
that imitates .xinit to run olwm and startup a couple of openwindow tools.

 The scripts sets the DISPLAY variable by parsing the output of "who am i",
runs the user's .Xdefaults if he has one, else, the sytem defaults; it runs
the user'
s  openwin-init if he has one, else, the system default; ditto for openwin-sys.

  xrdb .Xdefaults runs 1st
 then  openwin-sys 
 then openwin-init
 then olwm -3 &

Users terminate their sessions by clicking exit on the workspace window.



However, after all client windows, including the Tek's telnet session window,
are closed, the root window color and cursor remain on the tek's screen.

This has the undesireable side effect:

when the next user starts another telnet session by pressing the tek's setup
key, then clicking on the telnet session option to connect to the sun sparc
file server, and run this c-shell script to start his openwindows,


the window characteristics (fonts, fontsizes, colors, etc) are those
of the previous user's--even though the c-shell script does an xrdb .Xdefaults
on HII
S .Xdefaults file!!

The only solution we have come up so far is to have each user, manually reset
the

the Tektronix server by clicking on the Tek's setup menu. This is a great
incovenience.

Is there something we can put on the c-shell script (on the remote sparc
file server) that would automatically reset the Tektronix Xp27 TekXpress when
the user exits using the Workspace exit option???

thanx for answering,

    I'm preparing to build X11 in a Sun multiple architecture

I would appreciate hearing about people's experiences bring up X in a
similar environment. Will R5 work with SunOS 4.0.3?

The second beta release of XPaint 2.0 is now available for use, it can
be FTPed from export.lcs.mit.edu or found in a recent alt.sources
posting.

From the README file:
-------

                              XPAINT 2.0 Beta 2



        Welcome to the current release of XPaint 2.0.  What does XPaint do
for you?  Why many wonderful things of course.  XPaint is a reasonably 
versitile bitmap/pixmap editing tool.  XPaint came out of a problem editing
some very large bitmap, and wanting more functionality then was provided
by bitmap, after XPaint 1.0 sat around for a LONG time, I finally ended up
with a strong need to edit color pixmaps.  Presto, this is what has appeared
from that problem.

XPaint is able to read X11 Bitmap's and the PNM format from the PBMPLUS 
toolkit (which is available in many archives near you).

There is one REQURIREMENT, which is that you have a compiler that
understands void* and prototypes.

Features XPaint provides:
        Usual paint operations:
                Brushes, Erasers, Spray paint, Pencil
                Lines, Arcs, Pattern Fill, Text,
                Boxes, Circles, Polygons.
        Works on multiple images simultaniously.
        Cut/Copy/Paste between all active images.
        Fatbits on the image windows.

And now the ToDo list to provide you with some insite into where XPaint
is going for it's final release.

TODO List:
        ** Documentation **
        Imakefile
        Document the Operation functionality
        Patterns should support grabbing from enviornment
        Patterns should be able to be read/written
        Line style should be selectable better than the menu
        other -
                spay edit should work, along with brush edit should
                be implemented
        font should be selectable much easier.
        Colormaps and 24 bit images need to be done better
        Paste needs to be "better"
        Fatbits & Pattern's needs cut/copy/paste

Hope you find this useful,

I guess this is where we differ.  I believe WM_DELETE_WINDOW was introduced
in X11R4.  R4 and R5 servers and window managers are supposed to be upward
compatible with R3 clients.  There are probably many applications that
haven't been significantly enhanced since then (they may have been
recompiled with the R4 or R5 libraries if you're lucky).  I don't think
that these are "broken badly", they're just slightly out of date.

Nowhere in the ICCCM does it say that multi-window clients must implement
WM_DELETE_WINDOW.  It seemed to be an optional protocol to me.  It's
certainly a good idea, but if an application provides other mechanisms to
delete windows then it isn't required.

And even if applications that *should* do WM_DELETE_WINDOW but don't are
broken, I don't feel that it's such a serious bug in the application that
they deserve to crash.  If the user performs an operation that is
documented as deleting a single window, and it causes the application to
die, that's not a Good Thing.  While we can argue that it's the application
developer's mistake, the WM designer certainly isn't helping matters by
performing an XKillClient() when a WM_DELETE_WINDOW was intended.  It's
poor human factors to expand the effect of a request in that manner.

A reasonable compromise could be for the WM manager to try
WM_DELETE_WINDOW.  If it fails, it could put up an alert "Couldn't delete
the specified window.  Should the entire client be killed?"  This is
analogous to the "Do you really want to exit?" alert that many applications
produce when you try to delete their main window.

We just set up our beautiful new Visual TX100m terminal and it's great.
Except that when we start xdm on our SUN4 host and try to startup with
XDMCMP, the session starts up fine and then kills itself about 1 minute
later, without a warning. In the xdm-errors file, the following appears
(I assume it's related, although it seems to happen more often then the
restart): 
Fatal server error:

   I am writting an application using Xt Intrinsics and Athena Widget
sets. In the application, there is an input action (add by calling
XAppAddInput() ) which displayes the content of a disk file to an
asciiTextWidget. The disk file is constantly being updated when the
application is running. Now the problem is, occasionally, those
invisible special character (invisible in the disk file, i.e.) (such as
^B^T etc) got displayed in the asciitextwidget window. Could some
X-perts on the net explain to me why this happened, and how to solve
the porblem? I thought there might be some resource I could set so
those invisible charaters will not be displayed, but I could not find
such resource in my manual.

  Any help will be sincerly appreciated.

You will have to go hacking on either the keyboard driver in your
kernel or the X server.  The latter is both easier (probably) and more
aesthetically pleasing (IMO of course).

	I am posting this once again because I think I have a minor
problem and someone must be knowing the answer!
	I compiled and installed X11R5 here. I had set the  Project
Root  to some non-default location. Now while testing almost all
utilities(xload, xgas, bitmap etc..) works fine but when I try to
start xinit, it can not find the fonts in the new locations and so 
gives the following error :

Warning: Cannot convert string "helvB14" to type FontStruct
xterm: unable to open font "courR14" trying "fixed"....
 
	When I run 'xset q' command, it says that the font path is
/usr/lib....   So it is not looking in the new font directory.  Well,
I think it is not locating the new lib directory at all. Presently 
links in /usr/lib points to X11R4 library. How can I fix my problem
without replacing these links? On worse case, replacing the links is
the only solution? And on the worst case, replacing the links will
solve the problem at all?

The first time I tried this I got an error of duplicate definition of

worked OK, should the instructions include deleting a shared object as

For application writers, yes it is discouraged, because you have to include
data structure declarations which are (intended to be) internal to the widgets.
For widget writers, accessing this field is fine; it is specified to be there
and XtDestroyWidget specifies when the field will be True or False.  If
you are an application writer and you find yourself wanting to test whether
a widget is being destroyed, ask why you couldn't rely on notification
instead (that is, register a destroy callback) and if you must test by
inspecting the widget data structure, maybe there is a design level issue
that is at conflict with the model supplied by Xt.

There is Appendix C of Scheifler and Gettys book "X Window System" 3rd
edition.

I've found that section pretty poor, especially compared to the rest
of the book, which is an excellent reference.  Unfortunately, other
than the source, it's pretty much all there is.

So, guess what I suggest: check out the mit/extensions directory for
help.  Particularly good files to look at: extutil.h and extutil.c.
That code actually exposes an inefficiency in Xlib: it duplicates the
searching that goes on when you look for a display extension record.

You might ask why Xlib even provides for display extension records, if
they can't be efficiently used.  I did, and recently submitted a bug
report for it.

Good Luck.
