I recently switched from the DEC window maneger to motif on a DEC 5000.
Everything seems to be working fine except for two things:
1. No root menu! I can not get it up on the screen. Is this
possibly because I have the session manager running?
2. When i log in, I get an error message having to do with the
depth of some icon (1 or 0). Is this related to the previous problem?
Any help is highly appreciatedharkcom@spinach.pa.yokogawa.co.jp (Alton Harkcom) (04/18/91)
Again I must ask the world for an answer which should have been (and maybe is) obvious. I am using mwm (not by choice I GUARANTEE YA) and trying to organize my icons. I use several machines remotely and use X clients from them on my display. I've color coded the backgrounds of the windows so that I can just look at it and know which machine it is on. For icons, I use an image which indicates which client it is and I am trying to get the iconImageBackground color to match the window background color. For most clients, I just use the '-name wheat' option to give them a name which I can use in .Xdefaults to set the resource: Mxm*XTerm*iconImage: terminal.xbm Mxm*wheat*iconImageBackground: wheat Mxm*tahiti*iconImageBackground: tan So that I can get a wheat background and an terminal icon for a terminal emulator on machine 'wheat', and the same icon with a tan background on 'tahiti'. This works fine for clients that use -name, but for clients that don't, I'm stuck. Particularily emacs doesn't work this way. I've tried setting the '-in name' & '-wn name' options on emacs, but mwm still uses 'emacs' instead of 'name' when determining the icon image background. Is there any way to force mwm to use the icon name assigned with '-in'? Is there any way at all to accomplish setting a name to be used? Al

From the man page: Emacs can be started with the following X switches: -rn name Specifies the program name which should be used when looking up defaults in the user's X resources. This must be the first option specified in the command line.

Our man page doesn't list the -rn, -in or -wn options. The -rn option works fine on all of the machines I access though. Anybody got a general solution which can be used for other clients without such options? Al
