[comp.windows.x] Xman 'problem'

sarima@tdatirv.UUCP (Stanley Friesen) (11/07/90)

Can any one tell me what makes xman ignore the standard Xt option '-iconic'?

And what can I do about it?   I would really like it to start up in iconic mode.

Well, you didn't say what window manager, so I'll give you an answer for twm...

In the .twmrc file, you need to add a section that looks like the following:

StartIconified
        {
        xman
        }

I'm not sure how to do it for any of the others, but I start up several things
like that and it works fine...

Hope this helps....

Add this line to your .Xdefaults if you'd rather have xman always come
up iconified:

Xman*Iconic:			true
