CDE login window resize?
I was asked to display a banner on the CDE login window and I have successfully accomplished that task. This is what I did:

1) made the directory /etc/dt/config/C
2) cp /usr/dt/config/C/Xresources /etc/dt/config/C
3) I edited /etc/dt/config/C/Xresources and ensured the following lines were present in MISC block of the file:

Dtlogin*logo*bitmapFile: /usr/snadm/etc/admintool.xpm
Dtlogin*greeting.labelString: Access and use of this machine \nis
restricted to authorized users

4) saved the file and quit

However, the xpm file that is using is warning text and it is to large to display under the normal viewing of, I believe is, 237 by 237 pixels. Is there a way to resize the CDE login screen to accommodate the xpm file? I believe there should be a way because when I enter my user name and then when it asked me to enter my password, and I enter the wrong password and after I click “ok” to the error message then the CDE login window resizes perfectly and the xpm file is seeing in its entirety.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

dtwsmgetworkspacesoccupied

DtWsmGetWorkspacesOccupied(library call)								  DtWsmGetWorkspacesOccupied(library call)

NAME

       DtWsmGetWorkspacesOccupied -- get the workspaces in which a window resides

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Dt/Wsm.h>
       Status DtWsmGetWorkspacesOccupied(
       Display *display,
       Window window,
       Atom **ppaWorkspaces,
       int *pNumWs);

DESCRIPTION

       The  DtWsmGetWorkspacesOccupied	function  works  with the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), and returns the list of workspaces in which this
       window resides.	Each element of the list is the name of a workspace (converted to an X atom).

       The display argument is the X display.

       The window argument is the window of interest.

       The *ppaWorkspaces argument is the address of a pointer to receive the pointer to a list of workspace names (converted to X atoms).

       The pNumWs argument is the address of an integer to receive the number of elements in the list of workspaces returned in *ppaWorkspaces.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, the DtWsmGetWorkspacesOccupied function returns Success and the workspace manager returns in  *ppaWorkspaces  a
       list  of  atoms identifying the occupied workspaces, and returns in pNumWs the number of occupied workspaces; otherwise, it returns a value
       not equal to Success.

APPLICATION USAGE

       If the DtWsmGetWorkspacesOccupied function is not successful, failure may be due to a memory allocation error or failure to find  the  cor-
       rect  workspace information (that is, the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), is not running).  The application must use XtFree(3) to free data
       returned in *ppaWorkspaces.

SEE ALSO

       Dt/Wsm.h - DtWsm(5), XtFree(3), dtwm(1).
