Hi Dan, I have several X-Windows/Motif programs written in C that run on OpenVMS, Tru64 and Solaris that use MWM and I'm porting to Suse Linux that uses FVWM.
When each of these programs first begins execution, their menus and decorations are changed using calls into XmNmwmMenu and XmAddProtocolCallback. This works on MWM, but not on FVWM. How do I get FVWM to change the menu and add a menu with a callback programmatically from within my X-windows/Motif C-program? ...Brian Pavlik -----Original Message----- From: Dan Espen [mailto:des...@verizon.net] Sent: Thursday, January 14, 2016 7:51 PM To: Shankar, Udaya (U.)

Appreciate your help. The menu in the first image is generated by the application. The menu in the second image is an Fvwm menu. You don't say what you did to make the menu appear. I think you have an Fvwm key or mouse binding on the Linux system that's being intercepted by Fvwm. -- Dan Espen
