[comp.unix.aix] Changing the root menu under X windows in RS/6000

yusuf@aristotle.ils.nwu.edu (Yusuf Pisan) (05/04/91)

I would like to change the root menu that pops up in X-windows when
you press one of the mouse buttons.
I am running RS/6000 under AIX 3.1. 
I start up the X-windows by typing xinit from the console.

Where is the table for the root menu ?

Is it possible to change the menu or am I stuck with the 5-6
options it gives me ?

How can I implement a user written menu if there is no way of 
changing the current one ?


All suggestions appreciated..

E-mail your answers if possible....

Yes, you can change the menu.  Copy the file
"/usr/lib/X11/system.mwmrc" to your home directory as "$HOME/.mwmrc".
Edit this file to change the contents of your menu and restart your
'mwm' session.
