Begging everyone's pardon, I was not slamming Motif, nor was I necessarily  plugging/flaming the two.  I was responding to the sweet blithe statement in:  <rick.734610425@digibd> from rick@digibd.digibd.com (Rick Richardson)  rick> This is one area where Microsoft NT has a big advantage.  Since rick> they control the whole show, there are no issues like this where rick> licensees create incompatible defacto standards.  This happy statement shows a mindset that inventors and companies have when they are pleased with something that works, and they believe that others will also be happy to use it.  I remember when _SunView_ was hot stuff (and am not, by that statement, endorsing Sun and its products, this is just my experience), and when OpenWindows became hot stuff, that was when I started hearing, as mentioned before, the "socialistic masses" that were bent on destroying  _anything_ that was deemed proprietary, including OpenWindows.  I mentioned Motif in the same breath, because that is what Sun has decided to turn its attention to, not because I hate it.  Mr. Richardson's position, I believe, is a healthy one, and I am sure that the seething hackers will soon try to flame and destroy NT, if it ever shows up, wanting instead everything to be free, and then complaining when there is no organized structure and there are  no de facto standards.  It was just a vent for frustration brought on by prevailing winds.
I have looked through the FAQ sections and have not seen a answer for this.  I have an X/Motif application that I have written. I have a couple of gif files (or pict) that I have scanned in with a color scanner.  Now I would like to be able to convert the gif files into a format that could be read into my application and displayed on the background of its main window. Preferably with pixmaps, or perhaps as an XImage.  I have found functions in the pbmplus program suite to convert gif to xbm, but that is monochrome, and I really do need color.  I have looked at xv, which reads in gif, and writes out several formats, but have not found a way to write out a file which can be read in as a pixmap.  Is there an easy way to do this?  email responses preferred.  thanks!  'mark  ahlenius@rtsg.mot.com
I am using xnlock as the screensaver for a PC-based X server. However, after an interval of no activity, my X session ends. This does not happen when I use xscreensaver.   My screensave command is fired up from my .xsession like this:  xautolock -time 1 -locker xnlock -corners ++++ -cornerdelay 1 &  My hypothesis is that xdm (I use xdmcp to start my X session) detects a period of inactivity from the server, then terminates the session. However, for some reason, this does not happen with xscreensaver. Is there a workaround?  I'd prefer responses via e-mail.  Thanks.

Do I need the Motif private header files and source,    or can I make do with the public headers that are provided?    "Motif" includes Xt in this context.  Yes.  You'll find it almost impossible without the source at this point.  It does depend on how ambitious you are and how concerned you are about compliance with the general interface and items like traversal.     One widget is a multi-column list (which lots of people have    already written, I am sure), and would therefore be probably be    a subclass of List rather than something simple like an Xt class.    Is this more difficult (in principle, not lines of code)?  I'm not sure what you're asking.  You could create something which is very much like a true multi-column list by placing several lists within a geometry manager,  and putting that manager within an automatic scrolled window.  This wouldn't be good for very large lists,  but you might consider this as an alternative.     Alternatively, if anyone has a multi-column list widget they    could sell me, this might save me from having to write one!    Does it by any chance exist in Motif 1.2 already (I do not    yet have the spec)?  Motif 1.2 does not have a multi-column list in it.  Have you looked at commercial sets?  There are also some PD  widget sets,  one of these might have a multi-column list you could port.
Could some one please send me (or tell me where to ftp from) the patches required  for xrolo so that  I can compile-in the SPARCStation phone-dialing feature?  I am using SunOS  4.1.1, and therefore don't have "multimedia/libaudio.h" or  "multimedia/audio_device.h" and associated functions.  Just in case, our mail gateway only accepts msgs < 45Kb.  Thanks in advance, Shash.
REPOST:  I have two questions (well probably more...) about how Expose & Configure events are handled.  I have an appl. which uses 1 window to draw in.  Since I give the user the capability of scaling and zooming as well as allowing the window to be resized, I made a translation table for the Expose & Configure events. The Expose event calls my redraw method while the Configure event calls my rescale method.  The rescale method invokes a "fake" Expose event (actually just calls the redraw w/ an appropriate Expose struct) to draw the data.  Quest 1. When the appl. is compiled/linked w/ R4 (running in either R4 or R5 env.) I get multiple (>4) redraws when the window gets uncovered or the size is changed.  I assume I'm getting cascading events.  Is that right? Any suggestions as to how to handle/trap events in a better way?  Quest 2. When the appl. is compiled/linked w/ R5 I get no Expose events whatsoever.  Do events and/or translation tables act differently in R5?  Thanks in advance

Has anybody built an X11R5 server that can run on a Personal Decstation 5000 line with ultrix 4.3?  The only catch is that being "personal" machines, we did not install DECnet onto them, which the Xdec server on gatekeeper requires.
I am looking for GUI Builders/UIMS's which run in a VMS/OpenVMS environment. I am interested in both Motif tools and GUI-independent tools such as XVT. My client also requires that the tool has been in production for at least 6 months in the VMS environment. Note that I have the list of tools from the FAQ, but not the info on VMS availability.

I recently corrected the resolution on my Sparcstation by changing /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers from: :0 local /usr/bin/X11/X :0 -ar1 500 -dpi 100 to: :0 local /usr/bin/X11/X :0 -ar1 500 -dpi 85  I determined that my 19" 1152x900 monitor was 85 dpi by measuring the active screen area and dividing by resolution.  However, this has caused my application fonts to behave strangely. After some research, I believe this is caused by my applications requesting fonts by Family, Weight, Slant, and Pointsize.  I believe that X is grabbing the first font on the path with these characteristics and displaying it.  Since I have only 75dpi and 100dpi fonts on my path, the results are inaccurate.  I do have some Speedo fonts, but not for the family I am using (Helvetica).  I think this is incorrect.  The fonts should always be provided in the resolution of the display.  This never seems to happen unless you explicitly request fonts by xres and yres!  This is true of both the scaleable and bitmapped fonts!  For instance, the command  xfd -fn '-bitstream-charter-*-*-*-*-*-240-*-*-*-*-*-*'  Will invoke a 75dpi font (despite the fact that this is a Speedo font).  The command    xfd -fn '-adobe-courier-*-*-*-*-*-240-*-*-*-*-*-*'  Will invoke a 75dpi font or a 100dpi font (depending on my font path). Despite the fact that X knows my display is 85 dpi, and that it can generate an 85dpi font for me!  Unless I my applications specifies a resolution, X appears to pick a stupid default.  Is this a bug?  Is it a feature?  If so, why?  Is there anything I can do to get around this problem?  People have suggested that I lie about my resolution, and specify a single font path (75 or 100, not both). This would at least make my app consistent, but I like being able to look at rulers that appear in my paint application and say: "Yup, thats an inch".  Anyone have a set of 85dpi bitmapped fonts I can use?

Well, thanks largely to subscribers of this group, here's xrastool 1.0, the animation package I started just over 3 weeks ago. A number of the solutions provided through discussions here have been incorporated in the code, so have a look! The full blurb has been posted to comp.windows.x.announce.  This post is in two parts. To unpack the source code, extract the articles into file1 and file2 (for example). Use a text editor to remove leading and trailing text at the "---cut here---" markers (including the markers themselves). Next type "cat file1 file2 > file", then "uudecode file" and "zcat xrastool1.0.tar.Z | tar xvf -". Read the README file for instructions on how to proceed from there. Enjoy!  Derek  P.S. The source is also available for anon ftp from export.lcs.mit.edu in the contrib/ directory. If there is enough demand, a static binary will be provided for those without the XView libraries or include files.  ----------------------------------------------------------- | Derek C.

Hello everybody out there !  I'm trying to compile X11R5pl23 and Motif 1.2.1 on a HP running HP-UX 8.05. But it' seems to be not very succesful, because  I have only hp.cf config-files for HP-UX 7.0.   I tried standard cc and X was compiled with a lot of warnings. The motif applications are compiled quite well, but they won't run. I receive the XKeysymDB error which is reported in FAQ, but I cannot fix it. The XKeysymDB-file is at the right location and it works fine under SunOS. Probably I have started the compilation Prozess only with a wrong config-file.  Please help me !

[Apologies if I'm answering something already answered in the FAQ. Our news feed has been losing a lot of articles lately - so I haven't seen the FAQ lately to check.]   Two ways:    1) When you start the xterm, you can use command line options:          -n ICON_NAME           To set the icon label          -T WINDOW_TITLE        To set the window title          -title WINDOW_TITLE    Equivalent to -T WINDOW_TITLE   2) You can use escape sequences to change things on the fly:      The basic escape sequence is: 	ESC ] <P> ; <SOME_ARBITARY_TEXT> BEL      where ESC and BEL are the ASCII ESCAPE and BELL characters,     <P> is an ASCII decimal digit -- '2', '1', or '0', depending     on whether you are trying to set the window or icon title,     or both, and <SOME_ARBITARY_TEXT> is your desired label string.      Hence, this command will set the window & icon title:          echo "\033]0;YOUR_TITLE_GOES_HERE\007\c"       To set just the icon title:          echo "\033]1;YOUR_TITLE_GOES_HERE\007\c"       To set just the window title:          echo "\033]2;YOUR_TITLE_GOES_HERE\007\c"       Of course, you may have to fiddle with exact syntax,     depending on how the echo command works on your system     and what shell you are using (I've shown System-V semantics     under Bourne or Korn shells).      [Hint for Sun OS users:  use /usr/5bin/echo instead of     /bin/echo or Csh's built-in echo.  Otherwise you'll have     to embed literal ESC and BEL characters in the string     instead of using convenient octal sequences.]      If you want your titlebar updated continously, say to show     your current directory, hostname, or somesuch, then you'll     have to see if you can coerce your shell into spitting out     the appropriate escape sequences when it prompts for commands.     Sometimes you can just put the appropriate escape sequence     in the prompt string itself, sometimes not ...
