I'm running motif on a HP with X-windows and would like to change the ugly desktop from gray to something else. I've not been able to figure out how to modify my .Xdefaults or startup file to accomplish this. Any ideas would be appreciated !! Thx, -- Jim Lawson Opinions expressed here are my own !!
