[comp.windows.x] Suntools style "walking menus"?

mkhaw@teknowledge-vaxc.ARPA (Michael Khaw) (07/24/87)

Is there a way to do Suntools style walking menus in XV10R4?  My .uwmrc
looks (in part) like:

menu = "Root Menu" {
"New Shell Window":	!"xterm &"
"ReDisplay All":	f.refresh
"Restart UWM":		f.restart
"Preferences	->":	f.menu:"Preferences"
}

menu = "Preferences" {
Bell Loud:!"xset b 7&"
Bell Normal:!"xset b 3&"
Bell Off:!"xset b off&"
Click Loud:!"xset c 8&"
Click Soft:!"xset c on&"
Click Off:!"xset c off&"
Lock On:!"xset c on&"
Lock Off:!"xset c off&"
Mouse Fast:!"xset m 4 2&"
Mouse Normal:!"xset m 2 5&"
Mouse Slow:!"xset m 1 1&"
}

When I bring up the root menu, in order to get to the Preferences menu,
I have to do a mouse click outside the root menu.  Most annoyingly, the
Preferences menu pops up where the root menu did -- not where my mouse cursor
was at the time of the mouse click.

Is there a way to make the Preferences menu pop up when the "Preferences"
item in the root menu is highlighted, or as in suntools walking menus, when
I slide the mouse over to the right end of that item?  I'm looking for a
solution that doesn't require hacking the X source.

Thanks,
Mike Khaw
