Hola all,
At 04:12 PM 6/2/2003 -0400, you wrote:
...Perhaps a separate X client that runs in multiwindow mode and provides the
root menu functionality might be a better idea... It could modify the
standard Windows root menu by adding a submenu, which it would then have
complete control over...
Instead of this, why not just use the Windoze desktop that's already there?
You can start a remote xterm by creating a new shortcut on your desktop
and making the command "rexec <host> /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -display
<mymachine>:0.0".
You could do a shell extension, but I'm not sure how you'd go about compiling
it w/o MinGW or MSVC, and even then it's probably not trivial to append to the
standard desktop menu under different OSes (95 w/o the IE4 pack probably
doesn't
even support that, and it's most likely a different IF between 98 and NT in
keeping with MS tradition...)
