I am trying to get an image processing program to work under X11R4
while using twm as the window manager. I have encountered 2 problems:
1) I would like to specify the position of the image windows on the screen.
To do this I need to set the twm variable UsePPosition that is documented
in its man page. In my .twmrc I have
x
x
x
UsePPosition "on"
x
x
x
Despite the fact that my syntax seems perfectly correct, I get the errors:
twm: bad character `U', line 75
twm: syntax error, line 75
twm: errors found in "/usr/gramian/hallinan/.twmrc", twm aborting
If I delete the line, twm works fine.
Does anybody have a patch to fix this bug?
2) twm uses the default colormap while the image windows share a different
colormap. Thus the images do not display correctly until I move the mouse into
the image windows. Is there a way to alter the default colormap used by twm?
Thanks in advance for any help.
