If I create a full screen window where m_winw and m_winh is the full screen size, it seems to create a window for me where the outside dimension is the full screen and the inside is smaller based on the "decoration" (window border) size. Is there a way to query the window to get it's inside width and height? m_win=XCreateWindow(m_displa...
I am using a very stripped down version of Linux, I want to create a self contained GTK application on a system that has no X window environment installed. I want to use GTK GUI classes and widgets and not create a server version where GUI is disabled. The only thing you can expect is a working glibc. From what I understand it would i...

I'm writing an LCD controller, and one feature I want to add is the ability to catch keyboard strokes so that you can do stuff like instant messaging over the LCD. I found xsnoop.c but it's outdated. I'm using xorg-x11-server 1.6.4-0.1.fc11 on Fedora 11. I'm also using Qt. I didn't find anything in the docs that might help, but figured I...
Hello, We have a fairly large cross-platform C++ program running on wxWidgets. Recently a big chunk of code was ported over from windows to linux, and since then the program crashes upon the display of a pop-up dialog. The error message printed to the console is: The program 'program name' received an X Window System error. This probab...
I'm fed up with using Windows Explorer as my file browser as I use Cygwin bash as my primary command line environment. Windows Explorer shows the full path in the address bar. Usually, I copy that, pasting it to the cygwin command prompt as in cygpath "" I then copy paste the output of cygpath so I can cd to it. I've also set up c...
My question will be hard to form, but to start: I have an MFC SDI app that I have worked on for an embarrassingly long time, that never seemed to fit the Doc/View architecture. I.e. there isn't anything useful in the Doc. It is multi-threaded and I need to do more with threading, etc. I dream about also porting it to Linux X Windows, b...

Is there a way to define a logout script for the Cygwin/X X Server? I'm looking for something like .bash_logout, but only run when the Cygwin/X X Server shuts down. I'm using .startxwinrc to start programs when the X server starts, but I haven't found something similar for when it shuts down. Any ideas? ...
Hi I'm really new to IRIX, IRIS GL, and Motif. I must compile more than 30 C codes written in 1997. Because these sources require header files such as XmAll.h, Xlib.h, and so on, I thought I just needed Unix and Open Motif to compile them. I installed FreeBSD as a guest OS on my Mac OSX, so almost all missing header files were found. (e...
