I am having problems implementing inter-client communication using X
properties. I have 2 X clients running wherein application 1 is trying to
receive a property supplied by application 2. Until now, properties were
hung from the root window and everything was fine. We would like to implement
an event handler so that applications can be driven by changes in properties.
The problem is this: XtAddEventHandler must be supplied a widget in which
specified events are to be trapped and we have no widget for the root
window. Furthermore, we can't find a way of supplying 2 or more applications
with a common widget for property exchange. I've tried passing window id's
(using XtWindowToWidget on the receiving end) and widget structures through
the root window, but have met with little success. Can anybody offer some help?
