NAME
xtmenu - Macintosh menu bar and window manipulation under
X
SYNOPSIS
xtmenu [-h] [-s] [-q]
DESCRIPTION
Xtmenu affords the user a measure of program control over
the X desktop appearance while running the X server. Run
without options, xtmenu toggles the accessibility of Macin-
tosh menu bar pull down items on the X desktop when running
X in full screen mode, i.e. without a menu bar.
OPTIONS
Xtmenu accepts the following options:
-h This option causes the
visible X desktop to hide
itself, exposing the Macintosh desktop. This is
equivalent to selecting "Hide" from the Window
Order
menu.
-s When MachTen is the the
foreground application and
the X server is running, this option exposes the X
desktop. This is equivalent to selecting the "X
Server" item from the Window menu.
If the X server is not running,
this option will
start the X server, emulating the <Command-T> hot
key server start up sequence.
-q When MachTen is the
foreground application, this
option closes all X client connections, terminates
the X server, and removes the X desktop from the
MachTen window list. This is equivalent to select-
ing "Close Window" from the File menu.
NOTES
Xtmenu can be very useful when bound to a "hot"
key sequence
recognized by your favorite window manager. For example,
you can hide the X desktop when running olvwm(n) using the
"Shift" and "Escape" keys by creating a
$HOME/.olvwmrc file
with the following entry:
Escape + Shift {
Execute: "/usr/bin/X11/xtmenu -h"
}
To add the same functionality to
mwm(n), the $HOME/.mwmrc
file is modified as follows:
Keys DefaultKeyBindings
{
Shift<Key>Escape root f.exec "xtmenu -h"
}
