[comp.windows.x] A small question about XView

moraes@cs.toronto.edu (Mark Moraes) (08/17/90)

Does XView2.0 supports any Xt style options?  Like -geometry, -iconic?
(I don't have TFM or TFS around)

In our X environment, we like to be able to run xplaces and generate
the list of applications presently running for their startup files.
Telling our users to ONLY use XView likely will not work -- and seems
to go against the "Open" philosophy so widely espoused these days...
And some of the users would like to run some of the XView clients.

Alternatively, is there some easy way to distinguish an XView toplevel
window from an Xt window, so I can hack a new table into xplaces with
the XView options?

Answers by email please, I'll summarize.  Thanks.

	Mark.
