Hello all,
When positioning on a « Shell command button », I would like, instead
of a cursor saying « Exec » , to have just a normal cursor. How can I
do this? By the way, I don’t see the interest for the user to
distinguish this type of button from the others. Terry Carlino from
TJNAF already raised this problem in March but I did’nt see any answer.

Edit cursor.cc.
Change:
case CURSOR_K_RUN:
XDefineCursor( display, win, run );
curCursor = run;
break;
to
case CURSOR_K_RUN:
XDefineCursor( display, win, willSet );
curCursor = willSet;
break;
Another point with edm concerns the –one or –server command line
options. I tried them in several ways, but each time I run a new “edm
–x …” I have a new edm main panel (“File View Path Help”) which is
raised which causes some confusion. Is there a way to avoid this?

-server means "send a msg to another edm process and tell it to open a
main window for you" it does not mean "don't open a main window".
-one is special and requires that all participating sessions use the
same command line params except -display; it also sends a msg to another
edm process and tells it to open a main window for you but if one has
already been opened it simply raises the current main window (which is
of course always somewhat dependent on the Xserver configuration and mood).
Both options do open a main window by design.
