OK, I figured it out! The problem has nothing to do with the ICS box popup, but with switching to XBoard's generic dialog creator for popping up the board window, and the modification I made in that to allow multiple panes (for the benefit of the Engine Output window). This led to the widget that used to be called 'form', containing everything that was in the dialog window, now being present in multiple instances, called paneA, paneB etc.
So for any definitions in .Xdefaults to be applied to the XBoard main window, it has no longer to be referred to as XBoard*form, but as XBoard*paneA. So the correct contents of .Xdefaults should be: XBoard*paneA.translations: \ <Key>d: MenuItem(Action.Draw) \n \ <Key>r: MenuItem(Action.Resign) \n \ <Key>q: MenuItem(File.Quit) \n I tested this with binding <Key>t to View.FlipView, and this worked. (After I figured out one has to give the command "xrdb ~/.Xdefaults" to activate the definitions in it. I will change the manual accordingly. _______________________________________________ Bug-XBoard mailing list Bug-XBoard@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-xboard
