We have a Linux based system that does not use a Window manager. When we start certain applications (for instance Firefox) from a terminal window (e.g. Firefox &) we find that no matter what we do, we can't get the application to display full screen. If we run xrandr, it shows the default resolution is 1280x1024, but when we try to max...

Hi we're trying to get R with the standard gui loaded onto CentOS 4, and under certain users R will not render certain graphics. When logged in as root the graphics render, but under the restricted user they don't. The graphics don't render with the error: > testdata <- rbind(c(1,2,3,4,5,6),c(3,4,5,4,6,2),c(3,6,7,2,2,1),c(5,4,9,8,9,1)...
I was wondering if there were equivalents of the above mentioned functions for Linux (X11) - I can't seem to find them. ...
Without being the person logged in at the console, how do I run an X application and have it display on that X session? Assume I am either root, or I am the same user who logged in, so in principle I have persmission to do this. But how do I convince X of this? Some examples of situations like this: Log in with SSH and run a program t...
I use emacs 23.1.1 with KDE 4.3.1. I have set (initial-frame-alist) and (default-frame-alist) to make my windows come up where I want. But my initial window does not come up where I want. My initial window comes up with one font, changes font, changes size, moves (to where I want) and then finally repositions to somewhere else. It's thi...
I have the old 8book O'Reily Serious "The X Resources" in my bookshelf bought about 15 years ago. Is there any book which is explaining the new technologies and X11 extensions like XDnD, Xinerama, XCursor, XRandR, XRender, XIM + Input Methods etc. maybe with a chapter (but not more) of GTK and QT. I'm not even asking for Compiz and ot...
I'm using zenity to post a simple notification when my spam-filter daemon filters a group of messages. Currently this message is posted to the middle of the screen, which is obtrusive. I want to post it to the upper left corner. However, zenity does not honor the -geometry option which is supposed to be standard for all X applications...
Is it possible to check with the means of pure X11/Xlib only whether the given window is iconified/minimized, and, if it is, how? ...

I have the following code. For some reason the key-related events aren't firing. FocusChanged is firing fine. I'm using Gnome. Could it be that Gnome's intercepting these and not passing them through? I mean, some people may regard this as a security risk (keylogger), so it's a possibility. void PluginKeyboard::PluginPoll() { Displa...
One of my new home projects will be a simple Window Manager, but before start I need to know some things: Which is the best language to do this? Where to get some resources to learn? ...
C-h is correctly interpreted has 'help' in Carbon Emacs.app and using /usr/bin/emacs in Terminal.app. I'm sure I'm missing something simple here. Emacs describe-bindings shows c-h is rightly mapped to help. So it seems like xterm or X11 sees a c-h keypress and then sends a backspace to emacs. Can this behavior be changed? ...
It seems like an simple problem, but I can't find the answer: How do you query (via X11) what monitors exist and their resolutions? ...
This problem is driving me crazy. Maybe the experts at Stack Overflow can help. I want to open an application in Xvfb and to have it always positioned at x,y=0,0 (Top left corner). The application does not take any parameters, allowing it to reposition the opened window itself. Is there a way to set the default window position in a X-...
Using the frameworks on OS X, I can use the following to copy a PNG to the pasteboard (in C — obviously I could use NSPasteboard with Cocoa): #include <ApplicationServices/ApplicationServices.h> int copyThatThing(void) { PasteboardRef clipboard; if (PasteboardCreate(kPasteboardClipboard, &clipboard) != noErr) { return -1; ...
I'm experimenting with Xlib to gain a deeper understanding of how Linux GUI programs work. I've written a simple program that display "Hello, world" in a window, but it looks rather anachronistic since the text is not anti-aliased. What is the best way to display anti-aliased text in X11? How is anti-aliasing implemented in GTK, Qt, and...
I'm using Cygwin's startx and want to customize my xinitrc so that I don't get any "magic" X programs on screen, i.e., programs that will cause the X server to terminate if I exit them. I don't want any X programs to start up on screen at all, actually; I just want to use the XWin menu, customized from my .XWinrc . Ordinarily from a .x...
I had Python v2.3 on my system. When I wanted to run a Tkinter script I could just use python myscript.py I recently upgraded to Python 2.5 and now I need to have X11 running and the "DISPLAY" environment variable set before I can run any of my scripts. This is bad for me, because I can't distribute any scripts without explicitly stat...
