Hi,
	small question for X gurus, how can I prevent a window being resized
from it's initial geometry?  I'm writing some routines for analysis of graphs,
histograms and other graphical elements, and the guy who I'm doing it for
would rather the window they're displayed in can't be resized (to stop idiot
users messing about).

Please reply by email, since our newsreader is broken at the moment.

I am working on an application that does a lot of time consuming callbacks.
My process ends up getting hibernated, waiting for synchronous replies to
commands that are sent to a robot.  The robot does not reply until it is
done with its move and I don't want to continue until it is done; nevertheless,
I would like changes to the interface to take place that happened just
before a command to the robot, for instance.

I got to thinking about work procedures and timer callbacks.  Can I use
either of these to get X updates.  That is, basically use one of these
mechanisms to simulate the main loop while the process is waiting for a
reply from the robot?  Anyone tried something like this?  What happens if
I always reset the timer callback and it runs while the real main loop
is running?  Same deal for the work procedure.  Say the process is waiting
for an event in the main loop and my work procedure then runs?

Thanks for any pointers.

I am looking for anyone who may know of a product that is available that allows the display and dynamic updating of Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) in the X world.  We are using Sun Workstations with the OpenWindows version 3 product and version 4.1.1 of the Operating System.  We also have access to Motif version 1.1.3.  

My primary concern is that this product will allow us to diplay and update these diagrams in a real-time sense.  The diagrams will be complex so the software must support zooming and panning functions.  This allows some of the complexity to be buried in deeper levels of the display so the user can see varying portions of detail to support the diagnosis of given systems that the diagram will represent.  

This software could also include the capability to build the displays but, the important issue is the display and update at run-time since the intent is to use it in a real-time environment.

Please respond to me directly,

It has been 2 years since xfig ran under X11R3 for several reasons.
You will lose MANY, MANY features.  I'll send you a copy of the CHANGES

I don't know where it would be available, but the version that still
would run under R3 is 2.0 patchlevel 5.

Is IBM so backward that they still only offer R3?

I was poking through the X11R5 Xlib sources (for reasons too painful 
to talk about :-) looking to see what Xlib did about requests that may
overflow the X server's maximum request size, when I discovered a 
rather interesting inconsistency.

The code for XDrawPoints, XDrawSegments, and XDrawRectangles is written
to deal explicitly with the server max request size, generating multiple
requests if necessary to draw everything.  The code for XDrawArcs and
XDrawLines, however, seems to just fail if too many items are specified.

Is there a reason for the inconsistency, or is this just a bug?  At
first I thought that perhaps XDrawLines didn't want to try to deal with
the max request size because the lines must be drawn joined to each 
other (although getting this right wouldn't have been hard).  But that
reasoning doesn't seem to apply to XDrawArcs.  So what gives?  Am I
missing something, or is there a bug here?

Yes, DECwindows supports XtAppAddInput.  However, since the I/O is not via
fd's like it is under Unix, AddInput only supports event flags under VMS and
not file descriptors.

Much better to set the overrideRedirect resource on the Shell widget,

I recently obtained xloadimage version 3.01 from gatekeeper.dec.com and
compiled it on a DECstation 5000/200 under Ultrix 4.2.  I got one warning
during the compile; it is:

  line 143 rlelib.c: size of array sv_DTable is required unless 'extern'
                     specified
  struct sv_dispatch_tab sv_DTable[];  /* offending line */

xloadimage finished compiling and linking fine, though.  It works when
displaying an image in a window, but when I try to put an image on the root
window (the background), it fails with this error:

  Xloadimage: X error: BadWindow - parameter not a Window on 0x0
  XGetWindowAttributes on root failed

The same code, with the same -DDEFINES and everything, compiles (without even
the warning) and runs perfectly on a Sun Sparc 2 under SunOS 4.1.1.

Any ideas?

Currently there are two MUDs (Multi User Dungeons) on our Sun4, I recently
tried to use Openwindows 2.0, the Sun4 just inherited a bit-map console :)
h
When the muds are not running, I can start Openwindows. At such times, if
a mud player tries to login to the game, XNews complaines about security 
violations, and repeated failed attempts to login.

When the muds are running, and I try to start Openwindows:
- The screen clears and the Openwindows logo appears
- The screen clears (to white with a 1/4" tall grey bar across the screen
giving up.
xinit: Connection refused (errno 61): unable to connect to X server

Lastly, the muds reside on ports 200 & 2001 and 3000 (perhaps 3001 as
well).

There is no structure available to you.  It is a server side resource, thus
you only see resource ID returned by the server.  I don't know of any way
of tracking a colormap ID except thru watching for Colormap install/deinstall
events.
