Since I've just switched my computer over to Linux, I am interested in programming in XWindows. I want to know if you have to do anything different for the different desktop/window managers for X11. I am using Caldera's OpenLinux 2.3. It uses KDE 1.1.1, and would I have to do anything different for window managers like Enlightenment, Gnome, Window Maker or any of the other popular ones??? Thanks all, Mike Hurley __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com

Motif and Athena simply specify widget libraries - the various controls that appear inside of a window. They happily run under any window manager. The window manager and widget libraries can pretty much be mixed and matched. The Motif version is written using the widgets available in the Motif library, which are not public domain (translation: you probably don't have the Motif library on your machine). There's a free implementation of Motif called LessTiff, but most people don't have that. The Athena version of GraphApp is written to XLib (the core XWindows library), and should happily run on any XWindows system, no matter what the window manager is. -- David Cuny

Hi Mike: GraphApp (by Lachlan Patrick) works on all window managers I've tried (7 or 8 different ones) with the only real difference being in the style of the windows and borders. No changes are necessary in any code. I'm using GraphApp with the Athena widget set. The Motif widget set looks better, and works more like the Windows widgets, but Motif isn't free. I haven't yet been able to get Lesstif, the free Motif clone to work properly, but that has nothing to do with GraphApp. A much more versatile and nicer looking GUI for Linux/Windows, etc. is the FLTK library. So far, I haven't had time to attempt a Euphoria wrapper for FLTK. Maybe someday. Regards, Irv
