XWin -help behavior

2002-04-29 Thread Thomas Chadwick
I just noticed today that if I run XWin -help, I don't see anything at the command-line. I have to go look in /tmp/XWin.log to see the results. Would it make send to print this information to STERR instead of the log file? _

Richard, Hmm... you mention that you can see the directory with your browser... that means that your browser has a connection open to my ftp server... and I'm not sure how many connections my server allows per host. Thus, you may want to close your browser, wait a few minutes, then open

Eugene, Thanks for the confirmation. WindowMaker is working OK. Had a glitch in the beginning. I could not see wmaker in /usr/local where all other window managers I have compiled (or tried to compile) live (openbox, blackbox, icewm). I tried to run it from the command line and got a dialog

Lars, You've gotta start wmaker via some script that sets your paths correctly. The startxwin.bat or startxwin.sh scripts do this. You can't just run wmaker from any old command line. Harold -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Lars
