Got no replies on the "disable auto-lock" query, seems like this should be an easy fix but I sure cannot find it. One workaround is to adjust the timeout value for the DT screen saver: /etc/dt/app-defaults/C/Dtscreen As for adding workspace menu items, I've attached one SRDB doc which explains why sometimes changes made in /etc/dt files may not be seen by users. One person said to change the file sys.dtwmrc in /usr/dt/config/C if my locale is standard. Actually this file should be *copied* to /usr/dt/config/C where it will be used before the /usr/dt version. Then menu items can be added. Here is one example: to add extra telnet links: Menu TelnetMenu { "Remote Logins" f.title "poseidon" f.exec "/usr/openwin/bin/xterm -bg black -fg green -sb -e telnet poseidon" "barbie" f.exec "/usr/openwin/bin/xterm -bg black -fg green -sb -e telnet barbie" } I was referred to a CDE FAQ: http://www.immt.pwr.wroc.pl/faq/msg00025.html but this doesn't answer either of my questions.

Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable." -- George Bernard Shaw SRDB ID: 20466 SYNOPSIS: Configuring dtwmrc System Wide Desktop Changes using CDE 1.3 or Solaris Desktop Extensions 1.0 DETAIL DESCRIPTION: Custom global desktop setting are not taking effect in Solaris 2.6 or Solaris 7. Common Desktop Environment (CDE) 1.3 is being used. The same problem occurs on Solaris 2.6 using Solaris Desktop Extensions (SDE) 1.0. The /etc/dt/config/sys.dtwmrc file is being edited to create the changes but users are not seeing the changes when they login to CDE. Same problem occurs when /usr/dt/config/sys.dtwmrc is used. With earlier versions of CDE (1.2 and below), System Administrators could build system wide menu definitions by editing /etc/dt/config...sys.dtwmrc or /usr/dt/config...sys.dtwmrc All users saw the changes unless they explicitly customized their environment with a $HOME/.dt/...dtwmrc file. SDE 1.0 and CDE 1.3 have changed the process so that users have a $HOME/.dt/...dtwmrc file after their first login. Subsequent changes to the /etc/dt/config/...sys.dtwmrc will not be visible. SOLUTION SUMMARY: System administrators can modify the system /etc/dt/config/sys.dtwmrc or /usr/dt/config/sys.dtwmrc file to add a filename to the INCLUDE clause at the end of the file. Example: INCLUDE { $HOME/.dt/$LANG/wsmenu.dtwmrc /etc/dt/config/sys.dtwmrc.extras $HOME/.dt/user.dtwmrc } The sys.dtwmrc.extras file will contain the actual changes that are being made to the system. Since a new user will get a copy of the /etc/dt/config/sys.dtwmrc when the user first logs in, the INCLUDE clause will be there and sys.dtwmrc.extras containing the global changes will be loaded. The System Administrator can change the included file and the users will get the updates whenever they logout and log back in or restart the workspace manager. Notes on Search order: When a user logs into CDE, the system looks for a dtwmrc file using the following search order: $HOME/.dt/$LANG/dtwmrc $HOME/.dt/dtwmrc /etc/dt/config/$LANG/sys.dtwmrc /etc/dt/config/sys.dtwmrc /usr/dt/config/$LANG/sys.dtwmrc /usr/dt/config/sys.dtwmrc Notes on SDE 1.0 and CDE 1.3 from: InfoDoc 17743 CDE versions and Solaris versions CDE 1.2 bundled with Solaris 2.6 and only supported on 2.6. Cannot be used with any other OS release. And you cannot use earlier versions of CDE with Solaris 2.6. Solaris Desktop "early-access release of CDE 1.3." Contains many features Extension 1.0 of CDE 1.3, but is not true CDE 1.3. May be used with (SDX, SDE, Solaris 2.6, but the user runs the risk of having problems SolarEZ) when applying CDE 1.2 patches to SDE packages. Not supported for any version of Solaris except 2.6. CDE 1.3 bundled with Solaris 7 and only supported on Solaris 7. Cannot be used with any other OS release. And you cannot use earlier versions of CDE with Solaris 7.
