I am running HP-UX 3.1 on an 835 Turbo SRX using X11. I have an application with a few topLevelShellWidgetClass widgets that are movable by the user (using hpwm). Is there any way (ie. any resource) to tell hpwm not to display the "origin/size echo window" that appears in the middle of the screen (maybe *showEchoWindow: FALSE)? In this application, the user doesn't care about the pixel location of his window, he just wants to move the window out of the way. I've tried uwm and twm, neither have this echo "feature", but the window frame movement isn't as smooth as hpwm's. Thanks in advance...

I couldn't find anything in the man page, so it looks like the answer is no. Mwm however has a showFeedback resource that would seem to do the trick. Mwm will be part of the forthcoming 7.0 release of HP-UX. -- Chan Benson HP Fort Collins

Turn off interactivePlacement (a little drastic, perhaps). 2. Give your windows ``user'' position hints in WM_NORMAL_HINTS (set the USSize flag). Hpwm will interpret this to mean that the user has set the location of the window (e.g. from the command line) and interactive placement will not be done. 3. If you have a ``primary'' window, then make your other top level windows ``secondary'' to this window by setting the WM_TRANSIENT_FOR property. Interactive placement is done on primary windows, but not on secondary windows. (Note: windows related like this will be minimized together.) Hope this helps. (OK, so it's more than a couple options!) Keith M. Taylor Hewlett-Packard Corvallis, Oregon
