SYNOPSIS
/usr/dt/bin/dtsetup X resources
OPTIONS
Specifies the standard X11 resource options. For more information, see the X(1X) reference page.
DESCRIPTION
The CDE Setup application, dtsetup, provides you with a mechanism to customize your Common Desktop Environment by using a graphical user
interface.
It also provides System Administrators a means to create a CDE environment for various types of users.
When you invoke the CDE Setup application, a panel of four icons are displayed: Quick Setup, Desktop, Login, and Services.
From the Quick Setup icon, you or the system administrator can provide minimal entries to configure CDE.
The Desktop icon lets you or the system administrator set up the front panel, establish various window manager resources, define starting
applications, and set parameters for the terminal, dtmail, and dtfile applications.
The Login icon lets you provide information about your login session, while the system administrator can also set up the system login
greetings, and set up the X server configuration.
The Services icon has fields for various services configuration. You are restricted to the choice of whether to run the Motif/OpenLook DND
gateway. The system administrator has additional choices regarding the ToolTalk Session and ToolTalk Database server, as well as disabling
network dependency and allowing inbound remote process execution.
The CDE Setup application provides an effortless way of assembling the CDE front panel from available controls. Furthermore, by providing
various file names and other specifications, the CDE Setup application allows you to create your own controls.
The CDE setup application can be invoked from:
