OpenWindows 3.6 Environment

The OpenWindows 3.6 desktop and libraries have been updated with bug fixes and prepared for the year 2000. The OpenWindows 3.6 environment provides the following features:

• The OPEN LOOK Window Manager, olwm, a client to the X server, which manages:

  • Window placement

  • Workspace Programs menu

  • Window and icon opening and closing

  • Application starting and exiting

  For more information, see the olwm(1) man page.

• Internationalization, which enables you to select the local language, time format, and numeric format for the workspace and the DeskSet^TM applications.

• If you have a localized version of the Solaris 2.6 release, you can install localization packages that provide support for European or Asian locales

• The X server, the platform of the OpenWindows environment for window applications

The X server is a program that is the foundation for the OpenWindows environment. It is the X11R6 sample server with a Display PostScript (DPS) imaging system extension. The X server also includes several X extensions, a font server 0 and DPS font enhancements:

• Default key bindings for Motif on Sun

• An executable, xmbind, that enables you to change your keybindings without restarting olwm

For more information, see the Xsun(1)(), Xserver(1)(), and X11(7)() man pages.
