I read the man page when I installed it, and I don't remember seeing any way to make a window sticky on startup (like a -sticky flag or something). I'd just like to be able to make certain instances of a class of objects sticky by default, and not necessarily the whole class. Did I miss something in the man page, or is there really no way to do this? Thanks, Michael lamour@mitre.org

This is followed by a list of applications that you want to be sticky, in much the same way as you would use the OpenWindows.MinimalDecor resource. > Thanks, > Michael > lamour@mitre.org [M][a][r][c] ################################################################################ # # marc@sequoia.cray.com # . . # # Marc CR Bouron # M.Bouron@cray.co.uk (ARPA) # _|\ /|_ # # Cray Research (UK) Ltd. # M.Bouron@crayuk.uucp (DOMAIN) # (_|_V_|_) # # +44 344 485971 x2208 # M.Bouron@uk.co.cray (JANET) # | | # # # ...!ukc!crayuk!M.Bouron (UUCP) # # ################################################################################

Sure, but that only works at the class level. Scott Oaks sent me the following reply, and I really hate to say it, but I don't really know what he's saying. Is there a generic X flag for setting the WM_INSTANCE string? Basically what I'm tring to do is get it so I don't have to physically set my console window to sticky every time I log in. I don't, however, want any of my other cmdtools or xterms to be sticky. (maybe my question was poorly worded...or maybe I'm as lost as I sound ;-) Thanks again, Michael lamour@mitre.org -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Date: Thu, 30 May 91 09:35:16 EDT From: sdo@soliado.East.Sun.COM (Scott Oaks - Sun Consulting NYC) The OpenWindows.VirtualSticky resource defines which applications come up sticky. It tries to match WM_CLASS and WM_INSTANCE strings, so if you are able to set the WM_INSTANCE property of your tool, you get a particular instance to be sticky. -sdo
