Making Pop-Up Menus in Indigo Magic Desktop and 4DWm

Making Pop-Up Menus in Indigo Magic Desktop and 4DWm

Post by Jordan Ko » Sat, 23 Mar 1996 04:00:00



I am in need of some help.  I have an account on a network of SGI
workstations.  Two are Indy's (R4600PC) running IRIX 5.3 and one is an
Indigo (R4000) running IRIX 4.0.5F.  My home directory and .desktop
directories are mirrored on each.  The machines run both 4DWm and the
Indigo magic desktop.  When I turn off the file manager, I am able to
customize my .4Dwmrc file to create pop-up menus when I press down on the
mouse buttons when the pointer is in the "root background".  However, when
I turn on the file manager, the left and middle mouse buttons no longer
produce pop-up menus and at the end of the menu produced by the right
button, a series of desktop commands is appended.  Is there any way to both
run the file manager and get the pop-up menus from the left and middle
mouse buttons?  I am a little over my head here and would appreciate any
suggestions.  Thanks in advance.

No. Only mouse3 is available for your use when IndigoMagic is active.

This is a FAQ question, but unfortunately my connection is running too
slow to be able to provide a URL reference at the moment.



 
 
 

1. Info on 4Dwm and Indigo Magic Desktop

Hello;

I've been looking through the FAQ's posted here last week, and
downloaded a few of them (admin, graphics, misc).  I noticed there was a

bit of info in Indigo Magic Desktop in the grahics FAQ, but that's about

all.  Is there a special FAQ somewhere that deals with IMD and/or 4Dwm?
I've got some weird problems with an Octane running IMD and 4Dwm, but I
think the biggest problem is that I don;t have a good enough grasp of
the basics of the system.  Can anyone point out some good refernce
info/FAQ for IMD or 4Dwm?  Thanks in advance.
