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...

Xkb locked group with mouse. Additionally, fookb can be configured to execute a program on changing group.
fookb man page is based on WMMail.app man page. Program was written from scratch.
To use fookb with the Window Maker Dock, simply drag the fookb icon to the Window Maker Dock (if fookb was compiled with Window Maker sup-
port).

if this parameter is not defined. In any other case command will not be run.
Command command_to_run
This command will be run if XKB locked group is changed and "Sound" is set to "Yes".
X resources
NB! Parameters in PropList config file take precedence over X resources!
fookb.icon1 Filename
fookb.icon2 Filename
fookb.icon3 Filename
fookb.icon4 Filename
fookb.iconBoom Filename
fookb.sound Yes/No
fookb.command Command
EXAMPLES
Here is an example of configuration file.
{
Icon1 = "/usr/local/share/fookb/icon1.xpm";
Icon2 = "/usr/local/share/fookb/icon2.xpm";
Icon3 = "/usr/local/share/fookb/icon3.xpm";
Icon4 = "/usr/local/share/fookb/icon4.xpm";
IconBoom = "/usr/local/share/fookb/crash.xpm";
Sound = "Yes";
Command = "/usr/bin/play /usr/local/share/fookb/click.au";
}
Here is an example of app-defaults file.
fookb.icon1: /usr/local/share/fookb/icon1.xpm
fookb.icon2: /usr/local/share/fookb/icon2.xpm
fookb.icon3: /usr/local/share/fookb/icon3.xpm
fookb.icon4: /usr/local/share/fookb/icon4.xpm
fookb.iconBoom: /usr/local/share/fookb/crash.xpm
fookb.sound: Yes
fookb.command: /home/bgates/bin/playmssound
FILES
~/GNUstep/Defaults/FOOkb
fookb defaults (for Window Maker enabled version).
~/.fookb
fookb defaults (for Window Maker disabled version).
BUGS
Sometimes fookb receives message about changing XKB group, but message.state.group does not point to any existing XKB group. In this case
fookb will show IconBoom (from config file) picture.
As far as I know the only way to look at this bug is to run vmware.
VERSION
This man page is [hopefully] up-to-date for version 3.0 of fookb.
