I have two problems with xterm going from X10 to XV11R2: i. The -ls option doesn't execute my .login file. ii. The titlebar is gone. Any solutions?? Also, could someone explain the change in the format of the .Xdefaults file. I had to change the xterm.bodyfont line to an "xterm*font: a14" for it to take, but I'm still unclear on how it works.

Titlebars went away in R1; you'll have to run a window manager that provides them (try "wm" or "cwm" from the MIT distribution, or one of the various ones that are being developed by various vendors). I'll send you the recently posted tutorial on using the Resource Manager separately.

Since he's in Germany right now, I'll put in a plug for him: Hubbard's heavily hacked UWM (now called AWM) has title bars and a lot of other stuff too. Look for another release in the next month or so. Don't send me mail about it, I don't have the latest code. Don't send him mail either, he's working as fast as he wants to already :-). -- Paul Vixie Consultant Work: 408-562-7798 vix@ub.com vix%ubvax@uunet.uu.net Ungermann-Bass Home: 415-647-7023 {amdahl,ptsfa,pyramid,uunet}!ubvax!vix Santa Clara, CA <<I do not speak for Ungermann-Bass>>

Who provides such a uwm? Is any one uses already such a uwm with X11? And if so, does this uwm recogniz the titlebar as a separate entity from the window? That is, can the same mouse key be used, on both the window and the titlebar, but yet perform different function (ex.,popup different menus)??? Has anyone achieved such functionality (geographical recognition of the mouse) with their window manager using X11? Any information is welcomed. --------Lydia Yomtovian--- sun!nsc!daisy!lydia Daisy Systems, Mt. View CA

Who provides such a uwm? Nope, I think it's "UWM, the free window manager that comes from MIT." I understand that HP has a window manager (which they probably provide with their products) that has title bars and all that stuff. I assume that other companies will also offer specialized window managers, since it's one way to have a distinctive appearance to what is basically a standardized product. >Is any one uses already such a uwm with X11?

Again, since he's in Berlin right now, I'll answer for Jordan. The Hubbard AWM is basically a UWM with title bars and all kinds of (configurable) little buttons and gadgets in the title bars that let you do resizes and moves and whatnot by grabbing the appropriate gadget -- sort of like WM. AWM *has not* been released yet, and won't be for another month or so. -- Paul A Vixie Esq paul%vixie@uunet.uu.net {uunet,ptsfa,hoptoad}!vixie!paul San Francisco, (415) 647-7023
