Is there a way to turn off the display of the coordinate window, which appears in the center of the screen when the user moves a window? We are using Motif 1.0 and X11R3, if that makes a difference. ( P.S. Please use the mail address below, the one in the header may not be correct. ) Thanks, Jane Knickle Mitel Enterprises Mitel Corporation, 350 Legget Drive, Kanata, Ontario, Canada K2K 1X3 Mail: uunet!mitel!spock!knicklej

[This is borrowed w/o written permission,but it states the solution more concisely than I can at this time of night (3:30am) ] I hope this is of some help. -dave bonnett; Center for Seismic Studies bonnett@seismo.css.gov *I most surely do not speak for anyone but myself.* ****-Long text follows -- Hit N to skip -- ***** ^L showFeedback (class ShowFeedback) This resource controls when feedback information is displayed. It controls both window position and size feedback during move or resize operations and initial client placement. It also controls window manager message and dialog boxes. The value for this resource is a list of names of the feedback options to be enabled or disabled; the names must be separated by a space. If an option is preceded by a minus sign, that option is excluded from the list. The sign of the first item in the list determines the initial set of options. If the sign of the first option is minus, mwm assumes all options are present and starts subtracting from that set. If the sign of the first decoration is plus (or not specified), mwm starts with no options and builds up a list from the resource. The names of the feedback options are shown below: Name Description ___________________________________________________________ all______|__Show_all_feedback_(Default_value)______________| behavior | Confirm behavior switch | _________|_________________________________________________ kill_____|__Confirm_on_receipt_of_KILL_signal______________| move | Show position during move | _________|_________________________________________________ none_____|__Show_no_feedback_______________________________| placement| Show position and size during initial placement| _________|_________________________________________________ quit_____|__Confirm_quitting_MWM___________________________| resize | Show size during resize | _________|_________________________________________________| restart | Confirm MWM restart | The following command line illustrates the syntax for showFeedback: Mwm*showFeedback: placement resize behavior restart This resource specification provides feedback for initial client placement and resize, and enables the dialog boxes to confirm the restart and set behavior functions. It disables feedback for the move func- tion. The default value for this resource is all.

>Is there a way to turn off the display of the coordinate window, which appears >in the center of the screen when the user moves a window? Yep, use the showFeedback resource. For example, if you set Mwm*showFeedback: placement resize behavior restart the coordinate window will not display for the move function but it will for initial client placement and resize. More information about this resource and possible values can be found in the OSF/Motif Programmer's Guide on page II.4-29. If you have any questions, please fell free to ask me. W.
