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 environ‐
ment 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 greet‐
ings, 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 var‐
ious file names and other specifications, the CDE Setup application
allows you to create your own controls.
The CDE setup application can be invoked from:
The CDE Application Manager.
