Find file associated with GUI preference pane
The flat files associated with the GUI are very useful in scripting, like the DNS section of the network pref pane seems to be a front end for resolv.conf..
but sometimes I cannot seem to find the file associated with the GUI area
so i was wondering what is an easy way to do this? I was thinking to make a change in the preference pane, and then to search for recently modified files. How could I go about doing that?
Also does anyone have any other suggestions for how to go about finding the system files that correspond to the GUI preference panes?
Thanks!

xmcreatepopupmenu
XmCreatePopupMenu(library call) XmCreatePopupMenu(library call)
NAME
XmCreatePopupMenu -- A RowColumn widget convenience creation function
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/RowColumn.h>
Widget XmCreatePopupMenu(
Widget parent,
String name,
ArgList arglist,
Cardinal argcount);
DESCRIPTION
XmCreatePopupMenu creates an instance of a RowColumn widget of type XmMENU_POPUP and returns the associated widget ID. When this function
is used to create the Popup menu pane, a MenuShell widget is automatically created as the parent of the menu pane. The parent of the
MenuShell widget is the widget indicated by the parent parameter.
XmCreatePopupMenu is provided as a convenience function for creating RowColumn widgets configured to operate as Popup menu panes and is not
implemented as a separate widget class.
The PopupMenu is used as the first menu pane within a PopupMenu system; all other menu panes are of the Pulldown type. A Popup menu pane
displays a 3-D shadow, unless the feature is disabled by the application. The shadow appears around the edge of the menu pane.
The Popup menu pane must be created as the child of a MenuShell widget in order to function properly when it is incorporated into a menu.
If the application uses this convenience function for creating a Popup menu pane, the MenuShell is automatically created as the real parent
of the menu pane. If the application does not use this convenience function to create the RowColumn to function as a Popup menu pane, it
is the application's responsibility to create the MenuShell widget.
To access the PopupMenu, the application must first position the widget using the XmMenuPosition function and then manage it using XtMan-
ageChild.
parent Specifies the parent widget ID
name Specifies the name of the created widget
arglist Specifies the argument list
argcount Specifies the number of attribute/value pairs in the argument list (arglist)
Popup menu panes support tear-off capabilities for tear-off menus through XmRowColumn resources. For a complete definition of RowColumn
and its associated resources, see XmRowColumn(3).
RETURN
Returns the RowColumn widget ID.
