See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge [Last modified: Sep 97] Answer: David Kaelbling (drk@x.org) reports: In OSF/Motif 2.0, mwm supports both workspaces (see the f.cci function and the wsm demo for a sample interface) and a virtual root window. To manipulate the virtual screen f.goto, f.pan, and f.track_pan were added, as were iconPinned and clientPinned client resources. Peter E. Wagner (pwagner@panix.com): Imagine that your "desktop" extends beyond the view provided by your monitor. A virtual window manager gives you access to the space beyond your viewport (i.e. your screen) by allowing you to move the viewport to other areas of the extended desktop. The first one is Solbourne's swm, which spawned vtwm/tvtwm/olvwm. David B. Lewis created one. suresh@unipalm.co.uk has further developed it into the UniPalm product DOORS, which is only available as a source code extension to the MOTIF window manager. The price of the source and unlimited right to distribute binaries is 10,000 pounds Sterling. Alternately, source and right to use within one company is 2,000 pounds Sterling.

Tim Failes (tim@aus.oz.au) of Advanced User Systems Pty Ltd writes: IXI (now SCO) has a fully supported product called Panorama which provides this facility. Panorama allows the user to pan around the virtual work space, dynamically change the size of the virtual workspace, and also access windows via an icon box. Panorama also includes a point-and-click tool for setting resources such as colours, focus policy, etc. [SCO contact information appears in the "Where can I get Motif?" subject. -ed] User Contributions:Top Document: Motif FAQ (Part 4 of 9) Previous Document: News Headers Next Document: 68) Why does mwm 1.2 crash on startup?
