[Scwm-devs] Re: testing of window manager hint options

[Jason L. <low...@ea...>]

The contents of the MOTIF_WM_HINTS atom is a C struct, which is defined
in /usr/X11R6/include/Xm/MwmUtil.h as the struct "MotifWmHints". It's
basically 5 ints that represent various bit-masked flags.

By the way... I'm right in the middle of changing jobs, so my schedule
is again in turmoil. I had been doing all my scwm stuff on my work
laptop, which I have to return at the end of this week. I just bought a
new laptop of my own to replace it and loaded Skipjack (Redhat 7.3 beta)
from ISO's, so now I'm going to spend some time getting everything I
need installed and configured (including scwm). And then in 2 weeks I'll
be repeating this on my new work computer at my new job. *sigh*

Later,

Jason
