RE: about X Windows Programming
On Fri, 2 Jun 2000, Mark wrote: Hello Wan. Do you mean : ? Does X Windows have MDI forms? (MDI= Multiple Document Interface), in a sense that when you maximize one of the child windows it only covers the area ocupied by the parent (the MDI form). As in windows all widgets and windows have a parent-child relationship, but normally ALL parent forms are SDI (Single Document Interface). (They still convey to the parent-child scheme!, but are rather independant in their shape and form over non parent workspace area) MDI forms can be achieved though. There are nice free widgets (at least one!) to acomplish this. And giving it a thought you could probably constrain you child forms (windows) to the parent geometry without much fuss, at least at a first glance. If you want to know anything else about the MDI widget I talk about (as I said I found it free on the net), send me an e-mail and I will send it to you. Hope I helped, regards, Mark.

Re: [*] about x
i had used redhat for some time, and now i turn to debian(2.1r4).i found my debian run xdm auotmatic, i don't like this, how can i change it? when use redhat,edit the file /etc/initab, and set init 3 to default will be ok, but debian is quite different. If I remeber correctly, there is an option in /etc/X11/config; something like run-xdm. Change that to no-run-xdm or put a '#' on front of it. -- Philip Lehman [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Actually, xdm by default is started for each multi-user runlevel with the script /etc/init.d/xdm. Just remove the link from /etc/rc2.d that looks like S99xdm and it won't start in runlevel 2 (the debian default). Same for every other run-level, links are in /etc/rcN.d. -- ++ | Eric G.
