At school, on an HP-UX or B.11.11 U 9000/785 system, my X11 root window is always set to 8-bit color, but all the child windows are 24-bit. The problem with this, is any background/wallpaper looks extremely ugly with the 8-bit color. Is there any way to make X starts with 24-bit color root window?... (0 Replies)

Anyone know of a way to create a pop-up window using X11? I'm not to sure where to start. I just think it would be neat to do. So I was hoping someone out there had documentation on how to go about this, or if I was going to have to write/compile a program to do so.
Thank you!

podebconf-display-po
PODEBCONF-DISPLAY-PO(1) po-debconf PODEBCONF-DISPLAY-PO(1)
NAME
podebconf-display-po - display content of a PO file in a debconf interface
SYNOPSIS
podebconf-display-po [-h] [-f FRONTEND] file.po
DESCRIPTION
As with any other localization work, translators should test their translations by running the program they are working on. But this is a
very hard job with complicated configuration scripts because there is no automatic way to have all messages displayed.
The podebconf-display-po program could be called the Poor Man Localization Checker for debconf. It parses a PO file, tries to guess what
the original templates file did look like, and displays messages in a debconf interface.
Of course being root is not mandatory, and there is no interaction between podebconf-display-po and system-wide debconf settings.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Display a usage summary and exit.
-f, --frontend=FRONTEND
Select an alternate debconf frontend.
CAVEATS
o As podebconf-display-po relies on "debconf" to display questions, your environment must be setup to display localized questions in the
language of the PO file. If you want to check a translation in another language, you need to temporarily change your settings, e.g.
$ LANGUAGE=de podebconf-display-po de.po
If the PO file cannot be converted into your current encoding, English strings are displayed instead of the localized ones. You then
have to switch to a UTF-8 environment to prevent encoding mismatch.
o Prior to 0.8.3, "po-debconf" did only insert the field name in PO files. But some discussions on mailing-lists showed that text format
does depend on template type, e.g. string and boolean types are different because the former is an open question and user has to enter
some text input, whereas the latter is basically a Yes/No question. Authors have to think about it when writing their templates files,
but translators also have to be aware.
This is achieved when PO files are generated by po-debconf >= 0.8.3, template type is inserted in PO files. With older versions,
podebconf-display-po has a trivial algorithm to determine original template type, and may sometimes be wrong.
o The "dialog" frontend, when based upon "whiptail", traps system signals and thus podebconf-display-po cannot be interrupted by "Ctrl-C"
when using this frontend.
