Re: [Thinstation-developer] Replimenu with X already started?

[Trevor B. <tr...@ba...>]

Have you tried running replimenu as a program under X. It works from an
xterm, so you may be able to setup a session where the only thing
running is replimenu. Make a package called replimenu, with
etc/cmd/replimenu.global
CMD_GLOBAL="replimenu -f /etc/replimenu"
and etc/cmd/replimenu.window
CMD_WINDOW="replimenu -f /etc/replimenu"

and have SESSION_0_TYPE=REPLIMENU

Worth a try....
