I've just started using X11 and am trying to figure out a few
things. For reference, this is on a Sun-4/110 still running
SunOS3.2 (Sun-3 style keyboard, 1bit B/W monitor).
- xterm seems to have lost it's cute icons and the titlebar.
Have the icons been subsumed by various widgets, and if so, what
resource records do I need to specify in order to get them?
Do I understand correctly that the window-manager is in
charge of title bars these days? If so, which window-managers
can display title bars (I assume uwm can't do it)?
- xterm seems to have lost it's status line capability. Is this
right?
- Where are the standard toolkit classes/resources and the standard
options (that any toolkit application understands) documented?
(I'm not to the point of writing X11 programs, I'm just trying
to customize the existing windows).
- From reading xmodmap(1), I don't see any way to map a key,
say the one that says "F1" on the keycap, into sending a
complex string, like "!!<CR>". Any suggestions? I'd be
happy if I could just get this working in an xterm.
- In xmh, when you <Reply> to a message, it pops up some sort
of edit window. This thing talks an emacs subset, but it doesn't
speak correctly. To the point, how do I get M-<DELETE> to
the work? The <Meta> seems to be ignored. Is this an oddity
of the Sun-4 implementation (M-H works)?
- The Sun-4 has no LEDs or anything that show you that the CAPS
key is down. I'd like to write an application that displays
a "light" on the screen when the stupid CAPS key is down (cuz
I can't seem to put the CAPS key in UP-DOWN mode anymore dammit;
if you know how, let me know). Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
