X.Desktop (the xdt command) allows you to view directories with icons or with just the filename showing. How can I initialize xdt so that just the filenames show by default? Also, how can I set the geometry of the directory window that pops up? Martin Timmerman E-mail: mtimm@watserv1.UWaterloo.ca Computing Services University of Waterloo Phone: 519-885-1211 x3403

You can use the XDesktop*directory.geometry resource in your .Xdefaults file to set the size of the directory windows. Mark Connell IBM Australia
