Does anyone know if there is a way to determine which window manager is running from within an application? I work on Unix systems and will run the application under several different window managers (CDE (Solaris and HP), OpenWindows, twm, AfterStep, Gnome, and with X emulators X-Win32 and Exceed).
The problem is with sizing of the widgets on my GUI - it is slightly different under the different window managers. It seems like a good idea to have certain UIDefaults settings different for each of these (set into the UIManager at launch time). The properties os name and version is only part of the solution. The property graphicsenv gives the same value for different window managers so that isn't the right thing to use. (e.g. sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment for both CDE and AfterStep) Alternatively I guess I'd need to get info from the X-Server in my startup script (Bourne or C shell) then pass in the info over the launch args. Any ideas or info is greatly appreciated. -- Marie. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/\~~~~~~O-O~~~~~~~ A. Marie Alm, Sr. Software Engineer 0-In Design Automation, San Jose, Ca.
