Try using "xterm -display wkstn:0" instead of depending on the
DISPLAY environment variable.  There are scripts around that
will do an rsh and allow you to do the above command without
explicitly logging into the machine.  We have setup window
manager menus with pulldowns to do just this and popup
a remote window.

Is it possible to configure XDM X11R5 so that it uses the chooser
on the console screen of the machine running xdm. In the past I have
just used an Xserver entry to control the console but now I want to be
able to choose between the localhost workstation and another one to control
the console. I need explicit entries for Xaccess and Xserver as my guesses
haven't worked.

I am looking for information on user-interface development tools.  These can
be in whatever form you see fit, i.e. libraries, interface builders, interface
management systems, etc.

This information will be used as part of my research into user-interface
development systems and would be greatly appreciated.  So if you have a favorite
product, tool, environment, library, or whatever, please take a couple minutes
and tell me why you like it.  Or, if you know of one that you hate, tell me why
you don't like it.

Thanks,

I also would like to get ahold of a mail reader for windows.. I, however
am running a version of WAFFLE for dos under Windows 3.1.. The Messages
seems to be formated differently, and have an index file associated with them.

Any one know of a mail Reader (or a WINDOWS to WAFFLE front end) that would 
do the trick?

1) I have a package which gives some plots which can be displayed in
the Tek window. However, I am unable to get rid of the prompt that
appears on the Tek window. I would like to have ONLY the plot in the
window. How do I do this? In case it helps, the package is PISCES-II,
from Stanford. The documentation supplied with the package is _so_bad_
considerable juggling had to be done to get anything out on the Tek window.

2) Is it possible to give the command from the xterm, but see the drawing
in the Tek window?

3) Also, is it possible to get a postscript plot of whatever is seen in the 
tek window?

4) The Xterm man page says that the Tek window emulates a Tek 4014 terminal.
If my package supports a Tek 4107 terminal, is there ANY way I can let the 
package _know_ that the terminal is a 4014, and not a 4107?

I would really appreciate any responses.

Thanks.

The best size stuff is not a limitation, it's ONLY a performance hint.
(It IS a limitation for cursor pixmaps, but you didn't ask about that.)

This is done, behind your back, in the server.

To be safe, create the bitmap, and store whatever bits you
like in it. Then set it as the clip mask bitmap into some GC and
don't mess with it while you're drawing through that GC.

Each time you change it, set it into the GC again.

In general, yes, you must.

OK, but all drawing will have to take place first to the
window, then to the pixmap.  X gives you no reliable way
to copy stuff from the window to the pixmap in such a way
that the pixmap is a true copy of the window.

Complexity doesn't matter, nor does it matter how horrible
command-retention is.  YOU HAVE TO DO IT.

Hmmm.. welcome to the cost-reduced nineties. An eight plane SVGA costing

Um, no.  killme ignores all keyboard and pointer events; you have to

Dear netters:

   I have posted this question last weekend! I really hope that 
DEC/G++ MOTIF users can give me a hand!!!

   I got a run-time warning when running motif programs compilled by 
GCC or G++ as follows:

    Toolkit Warning: Cannot find callback list in XtAddCallbacks

   (Evnironment: DECstation 3100, Ultrix 4.2, Motif 1.1, gcc(g++) 2.2.2) 


   Michael Baentsch has been helpful to confirm that g++ and Motif work 
just fine on his SPARCstation throughout several versions (g++ from 1.4, 
2.1, 2.2.2, to 2.3.2 and Motif from 1.1.3 to 1.2.1).

   What I need is any DEC/G++ Motif user to tell me what need to be done in 
setting up the environment to run my MOTIF program correctly on a DECstation!

   The first thing is that will Moitf 1.1 distributed by Digital work with
g++ 2.2.2? 

   If so, what need to be changed on either G++ or Motif side? 

   If not, will higher versions help, such as Motif 1.1.3 or G++ 2.3.2? 
 
   I DEEPLY APPRECIATE those who knows can help!!

I'm using X11R5 on an RS/6000 running AIX 3.2.[recent].  When I sit down at
my xterm, I get xdm's login screen, which then runs Xlogin after I give it my
userid and password.  The top window of the MOTD message has the following: 

> Warning!  No ClassDefaults found for class "Xlogin"
> Please notify System-Adminstrator

I can't figure out how to set up ClassDefaults for Xlogin.  I tried setting
some things (like fore/background colors, etc) in my .Xdefaults file, but
I still got the error.  I tried creating an .Xlogin file, and it didn't seem
to change a thing.  The only thing that worked was creating a .hushlogin file,
but then I don't get anything -- it immediately starts bringing up my windows
as defined in my .xsession file.  

Anyone have a similar problem in the past and could help?  I've read the man
pages, but they don't hint to much...

There is a conflict between SunC++ libC.a and Intrinsic.h
in the use of the String type.  This is somewhat alluded to
in the comp.windows.x FAQ #126) Can I use C++ with X11?

The answer is that there is a conflict in the use of 'String'.
The 'workarounds' all have to do with motif, or not using Xt
at all (use Xview or Interviews for example).

Has anyone 1) found a simple workaround for using OLIT or Athena widgets?
or 2) developed a widget wrapper library for these widgets similar to
the one for Motif widgets (WWL) developed by Jean-Daniel Fekete?, or
3) run into this before, and decided not to use C++, or not to
use Xt because of such incompatibilities?

More info would be deeply appreciated.

The statement you've used is almost right but if you want it to work properly 
you must add the Mode_switch function. The hole statement may look as folows:

% xmodmap -
  keycode 61 q Q at
  keycode <num> Mode_switch
  <EOF>

where <num> is the keycode of the ALT key (see xev utility).
If you want more information, see the man page of X for the KEYBOARDS item.
I hope this help you.

I'm seeing a strange problem with the keyboardFocusPolicy resource.  I am
running on an HP9000/750, with VUE (although it also happens under mwm).
Running Motif v1.1.1.

I normally run with my window manager keyboardFocusPolicy set to "pointer",
and my application keyboardFocusPolicy set to "explicit".  I don't have any
problems.  Someone else here runs with both set to "explicit".  He is
seeing some strange behavior (and I've been able to repeat it) in regard to
widget focus.

In our application, we perform some actions that cause particular container
widgets in our dialogs to be replaced (manage one, unmanage the other) with
a different container widget.  The widgets in each container are
optionmenus, textfields, buttons, etc.  When we bring the dialog up (in
explicit/explicit mode), we can click on a field or press TAB to change the
widget focus.  We can then toggle the container widget, but at that point
we appear to have lost the ability to get focus to any of the
Text/TextField-derived widgets.  In fact, the "focus highlight" is not
present on any widget in the dialog.  We can click on buttons and
optionmenus, but clicking on a textfield only gives us the little caret at
the bottom of the field.  We don't get the focus highlight or the insert
cursor, and valid keypresses don't get inserted into the field.

If I then move the window focus to another window, and then move it back
again to the application, then the last widget that had focus regains the
focus highlight and the insert cursor.  I am then able to enter text into
the field.

And again, if my window manager focus policy is "pointer" (still keeping
the application focus policy at "explicit), then this problem does not
occur.

I don't know if this is relevant, but we call XmAddTabGroup for all the
widgets we want to be a separate tab group.
