Sorry to tell you that Virtual desktops are no longer available. There was a util called wsm in Motif 2.0 that performed this function, but it doesn`t work with 2.1. Currently, you will need the Gnome panel, KDE, or maybe XFCE to get virtual desktops with Motif 2.1.

How do I start up xfce or gnome with mwm? .xinitrc has mwm in it now - but don`t know where to go from there. I can`t read the manuals downloaded with mwm.

There are new pdf`s available at the Open Group site that should be readable with Acrobat. The original Postscript docs were printable, but not readable with gv or similar. There was a fix posted by Danny Backx on one of the Open Group mail lists. Here his is suggested fix

From Danny Backx

My PostScript is rusty to say the least, but I did manage to
figure out that the code at the beginning of the files tries
to figure out which translation to do, depending on the printer
and paper (resolution, size).

I changed some stuff in there and got the mot-wwg (the widget
writing guide) to display in Ghostview.

Below, the lines with %% in front are the original ones, the
next block is what I replaced them with.

Enjoy,

Danny
