tbasien staggered into the Black Sun and said:
I googled a lot, but w/out success. Who [knows] how I can set
information [on] the X Server and get [that information] back [from]
an X client?
More specifics, please. What, precisely, are you trying to set and
query? Do you want something like xset and xset q?
xlsatom shows some "ATOMS". How can I set them?
"man XInternAtom"?
xprop has a switch [called] -set name value. This is what I need.
But I am unable to find the right syntax.
Post the xprop command you're using. Take a look at this:
xprop | grep WM_NAME
WM_NAME(STRING) = "mhgraham@mallory:~/News - Shell No. 2 - Konsole"
xprop -set WM_NAME "mhgraham@foobar:~/News - Shell No. 2 - Konsole"
(works properly)
....leave off the format specifier when doing -set. Also, post what it
is that you really want to achieve in the end. Whatever your end goal
is, there's probably an easier way, but nobody can tell you what that
way is just yet.
