it's some time I'm using Cygwin and XFree and I feel very satisfied with both them.
Until today, I always have used the rootless mode + wmaker (which I like very much). Anyway this morning I tried to switch to the multiwindow mode.
Having customized the "contextual" menu of wmaker, I wished to port those menu items into the XWin menu modifying .XWinrc.
I have unable to do that, because most of those menu items are xterms that rlogins toward HP-UX machines, and they do not work anymore into multiwindow mode.
The problem seems related to the stty speed parameter.
In effect opening an xterm within rootless mode I can see from stty that the terminal speed is 38400, while opening the same terminal from multiwindow mode I see that the speed is 0 (the same does not happens for rxvt for which stty always reports 38400).
Searching Google I found that Speed == 0 means "hang up" for some machines (e.g. Sun or HP-UX). A solution suggested by this Google search was to modify /etc/profile adding something like that:
if [ -n "$DISPLAY" -a "$TERM" = xterm ] ; then
stty 38400
fiIn effect this modification solves the problem for rlogins launched manually by an xterm, but I does not affect at all commands inserted into .XWinrc (they look like "xterm -e rlogin machine -l user").
I tried several ways to put the speed to 38400 for those menu entries but I have always failed.
Is there a way to do that?
Ciao,
Danilo
