I am developing a product under X11R4. In my applications, I am going to be setting the WM_PROTOCOLS property so that when a window manager goes to kill a window, it will give the client a chance to ask the user to save document changes, and other interesting things. This is done by setting the WM_DELETE_WINDOW in the WM_PROTOCOLS property. In X11R3, a similar thing is done by setting XA_BANG in the messages field in the WM_HINTS property. This no longer exists in R4. What I will do when I am running my R4 clients on a R? server is ask the server for its verion and revision number, and if its R3, set the proper hint and if its R4 set WM_DELETE_WINDOW. The problem is, how do I do set the messsages field of the WM_HINTS from a R4 client? There doesn't seem to be any mechanism is the R4 Xlib. Any help on this would greatly be appreciated. +-----------------+---------------------------+-----------------------------+ | Bill Poitras | Polygen Corporation | {princeton mit-eddie | | (bill) | Waltham, MA USA | bu sunne}!polygen!bill | | | | bill@polygen.com | +-----------------+---------------------------+-----------------------------+
