7. _M_o_t_i_f
This chapter contains information you need to know about
Motif. It includes changes and additions since the last
release, known problems, and documentation errors.
7.1 _L_e_g_a_l__N_o_t_i_c_e
Silicon Graphics certifies that IRIX/Motif 1.0.1 is
OSF/Motif R1.1.3 Validated as tested with the OSF/Motif
Validation Test Suite R1.0 with no waivers.
Silicon Graphics certifies that IRIX/Motif 1.0.1 is
compliant with the AES/UE Revision B from Open Software
Foundation, Inc.
Open Software Foundation, OSF, OSF/Motif and Motif are
trademarks of Open Software Foundation, Inc.
7.2 _C_h_a_n_g_e_s__a_n_d__A_d_d_i_t_i_o_n_s
The following changes were already included in the previous
release of IRIX/Motif. They have not changed since then,
but are mentioned because they differ from the OSF version.
+o QUIT has been added to the default _m_w_m root menu.
+o _m_w_m includes a built-in root menu if none is provided
in any configuration files.
7.3 _K_n_o_w_n__P_r_o_b_l_e_m_s__a_n_d__W_o_r_k_a_r_o_u_n_d_s
+o Occasionally, when moving between two windows using
non-default colormaps, there is some brief unnecessary
colormap flashing. The correct colormap is, however,
installed last, and thus no workaround is required.
+o When moving rapidly between windows, occasionally the
wrong one has focus. To fix, move out and back into
that window.
+o If _m_w_m receives a signal it cannot catch (for example,
_k_i_l_l_a_l_l _m_w_m) you might be unable to type in any
windows. This is because the windows are unable to get
focus. If this happens, you need to restart a window
manager. There are several ways you may be able to
start one:
- Start one from _t_o_o_l_c_h_e_s_t (in the default toolchest
you can start _4_D_w_m).
- 2 -
- Start one over the network.
- Cut and paste _m_w_m and a new line into a terminal
emulator.
- 3 -
Once a window manager is started, you can exit it
cleanly and restart the window manager of your choice.
To exit _m_w_m cleanly:
- use the Quit... _e_n_t_r_y _o_n _t_h_e _r_o_o_t _m_e_n_u
_o_r
- _s_e_n_d _m_w_m _a _s_i_g_n_a_l _i_t _c_a_n _c_a_t_c_h (_f_o_r _e_x_a_m_p_l_e, _k_i_l_l
<_p_i_d>)
_7._4 _D_o_c_u_m_e_n_t_a_t_i_o_n__E_r_r_o_r_s
The _O_S_F/_M_o_t_i_f _U_s_e_r'_s _G_u_i_d_e is an OSF/Motif 1.0 manual. It
has not been revised for OSF/Motif 1.1. (IRIX/Motif 1.0.1
is a port of OSF/Motif 1.1.3.) The user's guide assumes
that _m_r_e, the Motif Resource Editor demonstration program is
shipped as an executable. Because this program is an OSF
demonstration program, and because it is unsupported by OSF,
it is shipped with the other demonstration programs. All
demonstration programs are shipped in source form and must
be compiled before use.
_p_g _v_i_i_i _m_r_e is shipped as a demonstration program, in
source form. Silicon Graphics does not consider it
a supported program.
_p_g _x The right (not the middle) mouse button is the menu
button.
_p_g _3-_4_4 A default root menu comes with the product. You
need do the things described in this section _o_n_l_y
if you want personally to customize your root menu.
