how to keep XWin menu open when clicking on an item
I would like to be able to click several times on an item of the XWin menu without it to close, so that I dont need to reopen the menu every time I click on an item. -- vdu

Hm. Not sure. Check msdn.microsoft.com for a way to keep the menu open and http://x.cygwin.com/docs/cg/cygwin-x-cg.html for a description how to include that into the XWin codebase and how to send the patch to the mailinglist. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

yes, I do ! try this : shift+click on an item in all programs menu. Do you see ? the menu stays open. -- vdu Jack Tanner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] vdu wrote: I would like to be able to click several times on an item of the XWin menu without it to close, so that I dont need to reopen the menu every time I click on an item.

Actually, it doesn't work in NT 4, at least. Anyone care to try in 2000? Do you propose that this work on all Windows versions, or only on the ones that have this shift+click behavior in the Start menu? Anyhow, if this sounds like an even remotely plausible piece of functionality for the tray menu, it makes an ever stronger case for moving the program list from the tray menu to the Start menu. -JT

Right now we have a menu in both places, if you install the X-start-menu-icons package. Why would we want to remove the functionality that allows a program list in the tray icon menu when the default behavior for that list is to be empty and to not be shown? Only people that want to use it are using it. Harold

So the answer to vdu's request is -- use X-start-menu-icons and you'll have shift+click. -JT
