This is a description of all the changes made in the HEPiX X11 scripts since the version 3.1.1.
This is a bug-fix release with no major changes in the behaviour.
The most important fixes are the OPENLOOK desktop (a total
rewrite) and the fact that the xclients
and xclients.m
scripts are
now sourced in the foreground.
hep/HEP_desktop.OPENLOOK
has been rewritten from scratch.
It is now much smaller and relies on /usr/openwin/lib/Xinitrc
to properly start the OPENLOOK session.
hep/HEP_Xsession.f
:
RunFile
does not source shell
scripts in the background anymore because this caused problems
(messy output, not a real "source", may create orphans processes);
warning: files like xclients
or xclients.m
must start their programs in the background, otherwise they will
hang the X session...
xsetfp
to set the font path
apply_policy
now check /usr/openwin/lib/Xinitrc
for the OPENLOOK desktop
dump_shell_env
has been slightly enhanced
xinfo
has been updated
