If someone gets it working and wants to jazz it up a bit, there’s other goodies out there.
xlockmore - some versions (google for it) included the ability to build with CDE support; I have an extended action file to invoke that with the appropriate arguments, which adds some much cooler screen savers. Some of them need 3D acceleration to not be dogs. Someone had done some audio utilities, that implemented the Sun keyboard volume keys, and provided a nice front panel volume control. The site doesn’t seem to be around anymore (and the relevant pages don’t seem to be in archive.org), but I’ve got a copy (although so far, I only found the extracted version, not the original archive file). Note: all that is very specific to Sun keyboards and/or audio interfaces; but if someone wanted to use it as a starting point for similar functionality elsewhere, it might be easier than starting from scratch. Older versions of the xpat2 multiple solitaire games program included Motif support (which I think was ripped out at some point). Someone else had done a digital clock for the front panel; haven’t tried to track that down yet. There are (or were) perl modules to interact with the calendar; they could be used to automatically insert entries for holidays every year. While it wasn’t as pretty as the Sun CDE sdtwinlst, there was something that would list windows; I think I helped get it working, maybe I still have that somewhere. Yep, found a site that has it: http://levana.de/findwindow/find_window.shtml I have one or two oddities myself, listed at http://www.smart.net/~rlhamil/ (the bottom few entries). The one I know some people other than me have used is dtwmcmd (sends f. commands to dtwm from the command line). I made that because I noticed that dtstyle could restart dtwm, but an action to edit .Xdefaults (which was presumably a script calling dtpad) could not. That made me curious enough to reverse-engineer the mechanism. So now you can do from a shell script something like dtwmcmd f.restart -noconfirm That pretty much covers the CDE/Motif related scrounges that I recall, although I might have forgotten one or two. Someone might even want to collect those and preserve them. :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
