- Hey, but there is a way to have mwm control your windows. Just find someone
- in your net who has a mwm on his machine, I found syspro.chaos.de on the
- latest ChaosCommunicationCongress, and ask root for an account.
-
- uncomment the twm or olwm or whatever you start in your /usr/lib/X11/xinit/
- xinitrc, and start a xterm with telnet instead, but before say "xhost +".
-
- When logged in to syspro I did "setenv DISPLAY mysitename:0", and after
- saying "mwm&" the motif-window-manager ran on syspro, but controlled my
- windows on linux.chaos.de ;-)
-
- I am a absolute beginner and therefore consider this a hack ;-)
