shell properties
Hello, when I do a startx, I get a new window shell with properties different from the one on which I typed startx. The problem is I want to change the font size on this new window and I do not know how. Also, is it possibly to directly open x11 without opening normal cygwin first? Thanks. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

patch for openbox to work
Hello I was trying to get openbox to run in X. I read some posts and managed to get it working. One change needed to be made to /usr/X11R6/bin/bsetbg similar to the bzdiff patch in 2004. Here is the patch for that file. --- bsetbgold 2007-08-15 10:48:58.0 -0400 +++ bsetbgnew 2007-08-15 10:48:38.0 -0400 @@ -602,7 +602,7 @@ VERSION=1.12 MORE="(C) 2000 by lordzork industries (http://lordzork.com/)" PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/X11/bin -TMPFILE=`tempfile --prefix=bsetbg` +TMPFILE=`mktemp /tmp/bsetbg` || `tempfile --prefix=bsetbg` ARGUMENT=$1 Also, per the other emails, this is how I am starting openbox from my cygwin shell. #!/bin/sh # mystartx /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwin.exe :0 -rootless& /usr/bin/xterm -bg black -fg green -sb -rightbar -display :0 & /usr/bin/xterm -bg black -fg green -sb -rightbar -display :0 & /usr/X11R6/bin/openbox -display :0 Lastly, nothing would have happen without the help of Soren Andersen (somian) on #cygwin on irc.openprojects.org JD ps. anybody got the popup menus or bbkeys working? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
openbox works, but how do I get the middle mouse button to display a menu?
Hello I have openbox working, but when I click my middle mouse button on my windows desktop it opens windows desktop dialog. On a related issue, if I use openbox and icon a window, I can not access the windows anymore. Openbox on linux accesses the icon'd windows via the middle mouse button clicked on the desktop. Please advise.
