NAME

       xteddy - cuddly teddy bear for your X Windows desktop.

SYNOPSIS

       xteddy [ -wm -float -noquit -nocursor -F<file> ]
       [ -geometry WIDTHxHEIGHT+X+Y -display SERVER ]
       [ -h --help -v ]

DESCRIPTION

       Xteddy is a cuddly teddy bear for your X Windows desktop.

       Normally,  xteddy just sits around doing nothing. After all, that's what teddy bears are for. Look at him, talk to him, place heavy windows
       on top of him, zap him around until he becomes dizzy, do what you like; he will always be your true (albeit virtual) friend.

       You can move xteddy with the mouse by pointing at him and dragging him around. When clicked upon, he will pop up on top of all  other  win-
       dows.  If  you  type  "q" or "Esc" on him, he will exit (or, as I like to think of it, be tucked away in the file system until you need him
       next time).

       That's it. But he's cute.

OPTIONS

       -wm    Use the window manager. Normally, xteddy sets the override_redirect flag for his window, which will cause most  window  managers	to
	      ignore  him.  However,  some  window managers might have problems coping with a window that is nailed directly to the root.  In that
	      case, use this option. If possible, instruct your window manager not to put any title bar or window frame on the window,	or  xteddy
	      will lose some of his charm.

       -float Float  up on top of overlapping windows. This will make xteddy stay in sight at all times, so you won't lose him. However, this is a
	      bit intrusive and quite unlike a real teddy bear, so it is not the default action.

       -noquit
	      Disable the "quit" command (do not quit when typing "q" in the window, but of course still  on  explicit	window	kills  or  process
	      kills).  This might seem an unnecessary option, but if you use the -wm option Xteddy might keep receiving keyboard events even after
	      the mouse has left his window. I you use the -wm option in conjunction with a click-to-type window manager, you would probably  want
	      to include this option.

       -nocursor
	      Disable the X11 cursor over the xteddy window.

       -F,-f  <  file  >  Display  another  image instead of xteddy.  file can be the full name of an image file which reasonably should contain a
	      transparent background.  If there is no  such  file  in  the  current  working  directory  xteddy  searches  in  $(installation_pre-
	      fix)/share/xteddy,  where  $(installation_prefix) is determined at compile time (for instance /usr/X11R6).  If this fails by default
	      /usr/share/xteddy is searched.  Failing this, /usr/local/share/xteddy is searched.  If there is no such file  in	these  directories
	      the  following  appendixes where appended to the given name: xpm, png, tif, jpg, jpeg, gif and pnm.  These files will be searched in
	      the three directories.  If all files the last try is to append the extensions in upper cases. '-F' and '-f' are equivalent, and  the
	      space in '-f <file>' is optional.

       If  no `-F` parameter is given file equals to xteddy or more precisely to the name of the calling program.  For instance if there is a sym-
       link

	      ln -s xteddy xpenguin

       then file equals to xpenguin and the appropriate pixmaps with the name xpenguin are searched for.

       -geometry
	      The standard X geometry specification. Only X and Y position requests are honored. Any  height  and  width  specifications  will	be
	      ignored.

       -display
	      Specify an X server other than the local display.

       -h, --help
	      Print a help message and exit.

       -v     Print the version number and exit.

BUGS

       The Desktop Manager in Sun CDE (Common Desktop Environment) does not like xteddy. Xteddy by default does not use the window manager, and so
       he  shows  up as a sticky window on all desktops. If you don't like this, and try to circumvent it by running him with the -wm option, move
       him by grabbing him by the tummy instead of by the title bar, and then move him partly off the screen, the image is lost and never  redrawn
       again,  so  all	you see is a silhouette of a teddy bear.  I have no idea why this happens. If you know, please tell me, and if you can fix
       it, please do. If you run CDE on other platforms than Sun, please tell me if it works for you. CDE does something  which  xteddy  does  not
       handle properly, and since I have a Sun with CDE myself I would like to know what the problem is.

       For most X servers, the -float option does not work properly if xteddy is moved partially off the screen. This is the X server's fault, not
       mine.

       If two copies of xteddy are placed so they overlap, and both were run with the -float option, the X server will try to put each on  top	of
       the other in an endless loop, which looks very bad and takes a lot of CPU power.

       Xteddy does not make use of the X resource database. I just didn't get around to that.

       Please send bug reports, fixes, suggestions, fan mail or or hacks to: stegu@itn.liu.se.
