Xtools FAQ

 Using X11 window managers
? Is it possible to use a window manager with Xtools?
! While the rootless mode integrates best with other MacOS X applications, it is possible to run Xtools in dedicated (fullscreen) mode and choose a window manager or desktop system.
Currently, only twm comes with the Xtools package.
 Mouse handling
? I use a standard mouse with only one button. X11 applications sometimes require a right or middle mouse button. Is there a way to emulate the other mouse buttons?
! The F1, F2, and F3 keys emulate the left, middle, and right mouse buttons.
? I have a two button mouse, but need an emulation for the middle button. I think that using the function key is inconvenient. Is there another way?
! Hold down the Command key while clicking either of the mouse buttons. This will emulate the middle button.
 Remote X11 Clients
? Is there a way to display X11 clients running on a remote machine, e.g. from Linux?
! First, you have to allow access to the Xtools server. Open the Preferences panel, switch to the Remote Access pane and check the switch or allow access only from a specific host by adding it to the access list.
Then set your Xtools server as the display for the client application, either by specifying the -display option, or by setting the DISPLAY environment variable.
