Wrong! use getimage to produce a viff file from the cantata workspace window,
then vpostscr to print the viff to a postcript file or device. If you cannot
use getimage (doesn't work on all 24-bit screens), use the command 'xwd' that
is is every standard X11-distribution. The resulting xwd-file can be converted
to viff by 'xwdtopnm' from the pbmplus package or to postscript by 'xpr', again
in the standard X11 distribution.

No need, as it's already there. Having the existing thing work on all 24-bit
screens would be nice, though.

Half wrong. You can do it now, by taking the .pane file of the program 
you want to have a different label and edit the 3rd line from the top.

Example: The file 
    $KHOROS_HOME/repos/cantata/subforms/inputcreate2D/vgconst.pane
    has the all the UI definitions for the routine vgconst. Make a copy of
    it and edit the 3rd line from the top:

-P 1 0 80x38+22+2 +10+0 'Image With Constant Pixel Values' vgconst
                                                           ^^^^^^^
    now put your private label at the marked position:

-P 1 0 80x38+22+2 +10+0 'Image With Constant Pixel Values' prakassh


Now you can start cantata an try your new glyph labels by reading your 
new .pane-files with the 'read UIS' input under the file utilities menu.

I personally don't believe it makes much sense implementing this in future
versions of the regular glyphs, as the string real-estate on the regular 
glyph symbols is very limited. User-composed 'glyphs/mini-panes' are a
whole different story, though.

P.S.: I don't think it makes much sense bugging Mark Young and John Rasure
      by CC-ing questions like this to them. They read the regular mailing
      list as well and are more than loaded with work on Khoros 2.0. We
      should respect that and try not to put any unnecessary noise on them.
      As the manual and the FAQ suggest, requests for enhancements,etc should
      go to khoros-bugs@chama.eece.unm.edu, not to the main list.
