Example D-2
defines the window and root (Workspace) menus
and bindings. The Motif window manager searches for .mwmrc
in your home directory and then /usr/lib/X11/system.mwmrc. This
can vary depending on the language and certain environment variables set for
your system. You can define your configuration file by adding the following
line in the Mwm file located in your home directory:
Mwm*configFile: ~/.mwmrc
! ! Default bindings as defined in the configuration file Mwm*buttonBindings: DefaultButtonBindings Mwm*keyBindings: DefaultKeyBindings ! ! Definition for Window menu on the border of a window Mwm*windowMenu: DefaultWindowMenu ! ! Definition for Window menu on iconbox Mwm*iconbox*windowMenu: IconBoxMenu ! ! Definition for System menu when MB1 is pressed on the screen Mwm*systemMenu: RootMenu
![[Prev Sect]](PREV.GIF)
The file .mwmrc contains all window manager menu definitions
and keyboard bindings.
