Help! I performed a sys-unconfig as suggested in one of the other threads to set up IP on hme0. Unfortunately after all is said and done, it no longer boots to the CDE but sits at a command prompt. Any ideas (I don't know Unix). Thanks in advance! Rob Cluett (3 Replies)

I was wondering, if I boot up a Solaris box and the CDE does not come up by default when I log in, does that mean that the box has a GUI at all? If that is the case, where can I download CDE from? I am accustomed to RedHat and Windows, so unfortunately Solaris throws me off a little bit. (1 Reply)

NAME
DtWsmGetCurrentBackdropWindow -- get the backdrop window for the current workspace SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Wsm.h> Window DtWsmGetCurrentBackdropWindow( Display *display, Window root); DESCRIPTION

Upon successful completion, the DtWsmGetCurrentBackdropWindow returns the window used as the backdrop for the current workspace. The func- tion returns None if there is no backdrop window for the workspace or if the CDE workspace manager is not running. APPLICATION USAGE
If the DtWsmGetCurrentBackdropWindow function is not successful, failure may be due to a memory allocation error or failure to find the correct workspace information (that is, the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), is not running). SEE ALSO
