[E-devel] e16 configuration stored by DISPLAY number... Ummm....

[Mark R. B. <mor...@ea...>]

Hi,

OK, I went on enough yesterday, and this is really amazing - it's a
SunRay, but the transparency is working great, and it transparent move
is faster than on my old SB150.

But I have one problem.  It's a SunRay.  So every time I log in, I get a
display number depending on which user I am.  I'm :7.0 now, but on the
other server I was :88.0.  And it'll be different again next time,
whichever system I log into.

And ~/.e16/e_config--<DISPLAY>* is used to store everything, so I get a
fresh config each time =O(

It there a better way to make this stay standard per user than links to
each of the four config files?  We're looking at installing this for
everyone to use, but this looks like a deal breaker =O(  I suppose I
could hack the code myself?  But surely it's the sub-DISPLAY, after the
dot, that's important here, not the display number between : and .?

Ta,
