WMShell is a top-level widget that encapsulates the interaction with the
window manager.
Classes
WMShell inherits behavior and resources from Core,
Composite, and Shell classes.
The class pointer is wmShellWidgetClass.
The class name is WMShell.
New resources
The following table defines a set of widget resources used by the programmer
to specify data. The programmer can also set the resource values for the
inherited classes to set attributes for this widget. To reference a
resource by name or by class in a .Xdefaults file,
remove the ``XmN'' or ``XmC'' prefix and use the remaining letters. To specify
one of the defined values for a resource in a .Xdefaults file,
remove the ``Xm'' prefix and use the remaining letters (in either lowercase
or uppercase, but include any underscores between words).
The codes in the access column indicate if the given resource can be
set at creation time (C),
set by using XtSetValues (S),
retrieved by using XtGetValues (G),
or is not applicable (N/A).

XmNbaseHeight
Specifies the base for a progression of preferred heights for the
window manager to use in sizing the widget.
The preferred heights are XmNbaseHeight plus integral multiples of
XmNheightInc, with a minimum of XmNminHeight and a maximum
of XmNmaxHeight.
If an initial value is not supplied for XmNbaseHeight but is
supplied for XmNbaseWidth, the value of XmNbaseHeight
is set to 0 when the widget is realized.
XmNbaseWidth
Specifies the base for a progression of preferred widths for the
window manager to use in sizing the widget.
The preferred widths are XmNbaseWidth plus integral multiples of
XmNwidthInc, with a minimum of XmNminWidth and a maximum of
XmNmaxWidth.
If an initial value is not supplied for XmNbaseWidth but is
supplied for XmNbaseHeight, the value of XmNbaseWidth
is set to 0 when the widget is realized.
XmNheightInc
Specifies the increment for a progression of preferred heights for the
window manager to use in sizing the widget.
The preferred heights are XmNbaseHeight plus integral multiples of
XmNheightInc, with a minimum of XmNminHeight and a maximum
of XmNmaxHeight.
If an initial value is not supplied for XmNheightInc but is
supplied for XmNwidthInc, the value of XmNheightInc
is set to 1 when the widget is realized.
XmNiconMask
Specifies a bitmap that could be used by the window manager to clip the
XmNiconPixmap bitmap to make the icon nonrectangular.
XmNiconPixmap
Specifies a bitmap that could be used by the window manager as the
application's icon.
XmNiconWindow
Specifies the ID of a window that could be used by the window manager
as the application's icon.
XmNiconX
Specifies a suitable place to put the application's icon; this is a hint
to the window manager in root window coordinates. Since the window manager
controls icon placement policy, this may be ignored.
If no initial value is specified, the value is set to -1 when the
widget is realized.
XmNiconY
Specifies a suitable place to put the application's icon; this is a hint
to the window manager in root window coordinates.
Since the window manager
controls icon placement policy, this may be ignored.
If no initial value is specified, the value is set to -1 when the
widget is realized.
XmNinitialState
Specifies the state in which the application wishes the widget instance to
start.
It must be one of the constants NormalState or IconicState.
XmNinput
Specifies the application's input model for this widget and its
descendants.
The meaning of a True or False value for this resource depends on the
presence or absence of a WM_TAKE_FOCUS atom in the
WM_PROTOCOLS property:
Input model
XmNinput
WM_TAKE_FOCUS

False
Absent

True

Locally active

False

For more information on input models, see the X Consortium Standard
Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual.
XmNmaxAspectX
Specifies the numerator of the maximum aspect ratio (X/Y) that the
application wishes the widget instance to have.
XmNmaxAspectY
Specifies the denominator of the maximum aspect ratio (X/Y) that the
application wishes the widget instance to have.
XmNmaxHeight
Specifies the maximum height that the application wishes the widget
instance to have.
If an initial value is not supplied for XmNmaxHeight but is
supplied for XmNmaxWidth, the value of XmNmaxHeight
is set to 32767 when the widget is realized.
XmNmaxWidth
Specifies the maximum width that the application wishes the widget
instance to have.
If an initial value is not supplied for XmNmaxWidth but is
supplied for XmNmaxHeight, the value of XmNmaxWidth
is set to 32767 when the widget is realized.
XmNminAspectX
Specifies the numerator of the minimum aspect ratio (X/Y) that the
application wishes the widget instance to have.
XmNminAspectY
Specifies the denominator of the minimum aspect ratio (X/Y) that the
application wishes the widget instance to have.
XmNminHeight
Specifies the minimum height that the application wishes the widget
instance to have.
If an initial value is not supplied for XmNminHeight but is
supplied for XmNminWidth, the value of XmNminHeight
is set to 1 when the widget is realized.
XmNminWidth
Specifies the minimum width that the application wishes the widget
instance to have.
If an initial value is not supplied for XmNminWidth but is
supplied for XmNminHeight, the value of XmNminWidth
is set to 1 when the widget is realized.
XmNtitle
Specifies the application name to be displayed by the window manager.
The default is the icon name if specified, otherwise the name of the
application.
XmNtitleEncoding
Specifies a property type that represents the encoding of the
XmNtitle string.
If a language procedure has been set, the default is None; otherwise,
the default is XA_STRING. When the widget is realized,
if the value
is None, the corresponding name is assumed to be in the current locale.
The name is passed to XmbTextListToTextProperty with an encoding
style of XStdICCTextStyle. The resulting encoding
is STRING if the name is fully convertible to STRING,
otherwise COMPOUND_TEXT.
The values of the encoding resources are not changed; they remain None.
XmNtransient
Specifies a Boolean value that is True if the widget instance is
transient, typically a popup on behalf of another widget.
The window manager may treat a transient widget's window differently
from other windows.
For example, a window manager may not iconify a transient window
separately from its associated application.
Applications and users should not normally alter this resource.
XmNwaitForWm
When True, specifies that the Intrinsics waits the length of time given
by the XmNwmTimeout resource for the window manager to respond to
certain actions before assuming that there is no window manager present.
This resource is altered by the Intrinsics as it receives, or fails
to receive, responses from the window manager.
XmNwidthInc
Specifies the base for a progression of preferred widths for the
window manager to use in sizing the widget.
The preferred widths are XmNbaseWidth plus integral multiples of
XmNwidthInc, with a minimum of XmNminWidth and a maximum of
XmNmaxWidth.
If an initial value is not supplied for XmNwidthInc but is
supplied for XmNheightInc, the value of XmNwidthInc
is set to 1 when the widget is realized.
XmNwindowGroup
Specifies the ID of a window with which this widget instance is
associated.
By convention, this window is the ``leader'' of a group of windows.
A window manager may treat all windows in a group in some way; for
example, it may always move or iconify them together.
If no initial value is specified, the value is set to the window of the
first realized ancestor widget in the parent hierarchy when the widget
is realized.
If a value of XtUnspecifiedWindowGroup is specified, no window
group is set.
XmNwinGravity
Specifies the window gravity for use by the window manager in
positioning the widget.
If no initial value is specified, the value is set when the widget is
realized.
If XmNgeometry is not NULL, XmNwinGravity is
set to the window gravity returned by XWMGeometry.
Otherwise, XmNwinGravity is set to NorthWestGravity.
XmNwmTimeout
Specifies the length of time that the Intrinsics waits for the window
manager to respond to certain actions before assuming that there is no
window manager present.
The value is in milliseconds and must not be negative.
Inherited resources
WMShell inherits behavior and resources from the following
superclasses. For a complete description of each resource, refer to the
man page for that superclass.
