i HATED what it did to my logout button. in my .Xresources file, i
have my logout appearing in a place other than the bottom corner,
without a border. Why change the way the logout button works?
(though i do like the skull cursor, i will admit.)
The "xlogout" resources in your .Xresources file do not work in the
new release because the logout button in the new release is no longer
part of a program called xlogout; it is part of a program called
"dash". The user release notes for the release will describe this in
more detail.
If you want to specify the geometry of the logout button in 7.2, add
this line to your .Xresources file:
dash*logoutButton.window.geometry: ...
and replace the "..." with the geometry you want.
i don't know how i like what it does to my zephyrs... i might like
it better if it said "To: {username}" rather than "To:
{username@athena.mit.edu}".
If you would like to change this, you can do so by copying
/usr/athena/lib/zephyr/zwgc.desc into the file ~/.zwgc.desc in your
home directory and editing it appropriately. See the man page for
zwgc for more information.
Also, if you're going to have the "To:
..." in there, zwrites sent to multiple users (e.g. zwrite user1
user2 user3) could show all of the recipients' names; otherwise,
the "To: ..." only applies to the instances.
This is not possible; the zephyr protocol does not make it possible
for the recipient of a message to know who the other recipients are.
The purpose of the new To: field is to distinguish between messages
sent to an instance (recipient "*") and messages sent to a particular
person.
