Hello, If you are using OpenMotif you can add the following to your ~/.Xdefaults file:
*fileFilterStyle: filter_hidden_files Then you either restart X or execute xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults The next time, Xpdf and other Motif-based apps will filter hidden files from their file dialogs. For other implementations of Motif (lesstif, ...), use the following to figure out how to filter hidden files: man XmFileSelectionBox
