       NAME
             dtm - UnixWare Desktop desktop manager

       SYNOPSIS
             dtm [-display]

       DESCRIPTION
             dtm, the Desktop Manager, provides file and workspace
             management for the UnixWare Desktop.

             dtm relies on the existence of the file class database,
             $HOME/.dtfclass.  The file class database is accessed via the
             Icon Setup program in the Admin Tools folder of the UnixWare
             Desktop.  This file is copied to a user's directory by
             dtadduser.  If $HOME/.dtfclass does not exit when dtm is
             started, the default one is copied and used.

             To load user parameters (resources), dtm uses the mechanism
             provided by the Xt Intrinsics library.  The Intrinsics looks
             for resources in various places including the files
             $HOME/.Xdefaults and $HOME/.Xdefaults-hostname.  dtm has
             Preference Sheets which provide a graphical way of changing
             certain resources.  For example, the Color Preference Sheet
             affects color resources and the Font Preference Sheet affects
             font resources.  These resources are stored in the file
             $HOME/.Xdefaults.  Users should not edit this file directly,
             since any edits made to $HOME/.Xdefaults while dtm is running
             will be lost when it finishes.  A user wishing to change or
             add other X resources should create and edit
             $HOME/.Xdefaults-hostname, where hostname is the result of
             running the command `uname -n` on the local machine.  If
             $HOME/.Xdefaults does not exit when dtm is started, the
             default one in /usr/X/adm is copied and used.

             dtm puts files that are deleted (using the UnixWare Desktop)
             in the directory $HOME/.wastebasket.  If .wastebasket does not
             exit when dtm is started, it is created.

          Resources
             The new application resource killAllWindows has been added to
             dtm; this resource governs dtm's behavior while exiting.  This
             resource is tailored for X terminal users, or for those users
             running dtm from another UnixWare machine on their local
             UnixWare machine.  These users may have windows already
             present and a window manager already running when they run the
             Desktop; when exiting the Desktop, they do not want these

      dtm(1)                                                        dtm(1)


            other windows or their window manager to be killed.  The new
            resource can be used to alter dtm's behavior, which is to kill
            all windows (the default for killAllWindows is true).  Setting
            this resource to false prevents dtm from killing all windows;
            instead, it will kill only windows that it has created.  The
            script .olsetup will specify a value of false for this
            resource on its invocation of dtm when .olsetup detects that
            it is going to execute dtm remotely.

         Files
            $HOME/.dtfclass
            $HOME/.wastebasket
            $HOME/.Xdefaults
            $HOME/.Xdefaults-hostname

      USAGE
            Note that locale changes made using the Locale Preference
            Sheet in the Preferences folder take place the next time you
            login.
