Dash is ready for another pick-up. This version fixes several problems:
- menu items not greyed-out on rios.
- does not crash when displaying warning boxes (problem existed on
several platforms)
- hard-coded paths removed and replaced with #define's settable in
Imakefile (default to proper Athena imake config values)
- has fallback mechanism -- if menu-file (on AFS) is unreadable, falls
back to a menu file on the rvd.
Please pick up all of /mit/dash/src. Many files have changed, so it is
probably easier to simply archive the current snapshot and grab
everything all over.
In addition, the change I sent in previously to the global xsession file
was wrong, as I mentioned. Please apply the patch below instead.
Let me know of any problems. Thanks.
-C.
