A couple of weeks ago I asked: >I've heard a couple of people say that you can run the X11 part of the >OpenWindows server without the NeWS bit by seting a shell variable called >something like X11ONLY. I've tried various likely names with no success - >can someone tell the exact name required and whether it can just be set in >.login or .cshrc, or needs to be in the openwin startup script. > And the consensus was: > This is not possible or necessary in OW2.0. More specifically: > That was true of OpenWindows 1.x, not 2.X > If you are using OpenWindows 2.0 NeWS isn't loaded until you try to > run a program that requires it. You normally only have X. > Depends on the version of OpenWindows. This was true in Openwindows 1. > In 2 this happens by default. The NeWS stuff doesn't initialize > until you actually use it.
